Underwater performances are yet another contemporary form of expressing art, when divers turn performers.
Divers have often performed Taekwondo underwater to attract visitors to aquariums and also to promote water sports. A lot of water museums across the world host underwater dance shows, and run dive performances daily during the summer season, typically to attract tourists.
Check out some of the striking photos of such underwater performances below:
