Octopush is played in a swimming pool by two teams of six players,
equipped with mask, fins, snorkel and a small wooden pusher. A solid lead
puck is used that can be pushed or flicked up to 3m along the pool bottom.
The game has now spread to many countries including Australia, Argentina,
Belgium, Canada, Columbia, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Ireland,
Italy, Lebanon, Phillipines, New Zealand, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, USA,
Moldavia, Yugoslavia and most recently Cuba, Singapore, Turkey and Hong Kong (NEW in
2002). Regardless of the country the game is universally followed by a beer
