Kite Surfing
It is a sport similar to surfing which takes place near the shore.
Skimboarding
It is a water sport in which the surfer rides a bodyboard on the crest, face, and curl of a wave which is carrying the surfer towards the shore.
Bodyboarding
It is probably the least complicated extreme sport.
There’s no equipment to buy, no special clothing to wear and no provider services to hire.
Cliff Diving
People have been longing to discover what lies deep beneath the sea. It makes this possible by allowing people to swim underwater without needing to hold one’s breath.
Scuba Diving

Synchronized Diving
It is a multiple-stage competition involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance disciplines. It involves swimming, cycling, and running various distances in immediate succession.
Triathlon

Water Polo
It involves wearing a flotation device around your middle and then moving your arms and legs in a running motion in the deep end of the pool.
Aquajogging
Barefoot waterskiing is one of the most intimidating and rewarding water sports in practice today. These skiers travel at high speeds on just the skin on their feet! To some this is appealing; however, due to the mental obstacles barefooting brings, many beginners can be discouraged.
Barefoot Skiing
It is a sport which involves paddling a canoe with a single-bladed paddle.
Canoeing

Kayaking
It is a water sport where the rider is towed at planing speed behind a motorboat on a hydrodynamically-shaped board.
Kneeboarding

A sailboat or motorboat used for recreation. Most yachts are privately owned and big enough to contain a cabin, but even small, cabin-less dinghies are sometimes described as yachts.
Yachting
It is underwater diving in water-filled caves. Combining the claustrophobic subterranean thrills of caving, and the perilous aquatic environment of diving, cave diving is one of the more dangerous forms of exploration on the planet.
Cave Diving
If extreme, unusual and challenging scuba diving scenarios appeal to you, try diving under the ice. Ice diving is a type of penetration diving where the dive takes place under ice.
Ice Diving
If you love speed and racing, then this is a sport for you. These powerboats reach speeds high enough to get your adrenaline pumping and enjoy the thrills of a race. Powerboating is a fun and enjoyable ride. Also, called as Motorboating or Speed Boating.
