Underwater performance is a type of site-specific artistic actions in or underwater. An artwork like ''Big Water'' is a typical artwork for the genre - within this syntax available as both video art (see above) and performance art - carefully observed and crafted out primarily underwater. Here - the selected action is immensed as a non-visiting performance, by virtue of the underwater presence, and is thus - with the observers taken into account - a filmed act preserved as video art.

Underwater music
Underwater music is a form of music composition that is tailored to the specific behavior of sound underwater. Underwater music can be performed or recorded underwater, for example in a swimming pool. The audience listens to underwater music either under or above the surface of the water, depending on how the music is played back.

Underwater sculpture
Underwater sculpture is a form of sculpture that is meant to be displayed underwater. The Cancun underwater museum has specialized into exhibiting underwater sculptures made of pH-neutral cement.

The museum visitors include snorkelers and divers. The urban artist Invader installed 3 space invaders in the Cancun underwater museum.Underwater painting
