After World War II, there was a large increase in underwater sports in Spain, including scuba diving and spear fishing.
In 1959, the CMAS Underwater Committee along with other National Federations took part in the creation of a new international organization.
Beyond scuba diving, other activities such as swimming with fins and underwater orientation have been developed, including participation in international competition.
There have also been great achievements in underwater photography, with people like Xavier Safont, Carlos Minguell, Carles Virgili or Jose Luis Gonzalez, among others, having reached the highest podium of the World Championship of Underwater Photography.
