Text and/or other creative content from this version of underwater cycling was copied or moved into aqua cycling with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Content split proposed

I believe this article is a good candidate to split into two separate topics: fully submerged bicycle racing, which I propose should stay at this title, and partly submerged stationary fitness cycling, which I propose be created as a new "aqua cycling" article.

The primary reason for a split would be that the sources that cover underwater cycling make no mention of aqua cycling, and vice versa; there's no verifiable source for these two activities having anything in common. As a secondary concern, the intro is confusing, since it is describes details such as SCUBA and stationary bikes that apply to one but not the other, and I am unsure whether editing can sufficiently clarify what's being said.
