There are two types:

{{examples}}
== Type A - A Kiss is Just a Kiss ==
* There was a '90s European commercial for (I think) Levis, where a bunch of mermaids capture a guy and kiss him underwater. I think the punchline is, they can't get his Levis off because of the double-stitching, so they let him go.
=== [[Anime]]
* There's an underwater kissing scene in ''[[Macross Frontier]]''. Although it's a scene in a movie shoot. Alto and Ranka are very flustered by having to perform it and [[Big Brother Instinct|Ozma]] outright called the movie "tasteless".
** That underwater kiss was actually them filming [[The Movie]] of the events of ''[[Macross Zero]]'', complete with an almost frame-by-frame recreation of the scene in question. Speaking of which, that scene was actually a Type B of this trope.
* An episode of the anime that Lt. Clouseaux was watching in the ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]: The Second Raid'' OVA featured this... until Kurz got a hold of them and replaced them with footage of two pigs kissing. Clouseaux was [[Berserk Button|
* Nagisa and Shizuma do this in ''[[Strawberry Panic!|Strawberry Panic]]'' (see picture).
* Hagino and Mari do one in the ''[[Blue Drop]]'' anime.
=== [[
* ''[[Superman
▲* [[Superman|Clark Kent]] and Lori Lemaris had kissed a few times underwater. Clark can't drown and Lori's a mermaid so it makes sense.
* In ''[[W.I.T.C.H.]]'', Cornelia and Peter share an underwater kiss after he saved her from being pulled under.
=== [[
* This happens in the Baz Luhrman version of ''[[
▲* There was a 90s European commercial for (I think) Levis, where a bunch of mermaids capture a guy and kiss him underwater. I think the punchline is, they can't get his Levis off because of the double-stitching, so they let him go.
▲== [[Film]] ==
▲* This happens in the Baz Luhrman version of ''[[William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet|Romeo and Juliet]]''. The balcony scene is instead (partly) a pool scene.
* There's one in ''[[Across the Universe (film)|Across the Universe]]'', though it's during a [[Disney Acid Sequence]] with literal acid.
* In the [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]] movie ''[[Thunderball]]'', Bond and Domino have sex ''entirely underwater'' at one point. Mind you, they had SCUBA gear on.
* In that vein, there is the underwater [[Fan Service|nude]] [[Fetish Fuel|ballet]] scene in ''[[Piranha 3D]]'', where [[Page Three Stunna]] Kelly Brook and porn star Riley Steele dance naked underwater to an Italian aria.
* There's one in ''[[Whip It]]'' set to a rather awesome song.
=== [[Literature]] ===
* Used in ''Lock and Key'', a book by [[Sarah Dessen]].
* In the final ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'' book, Percy kisses Annabeth underwater.
=== [[Live
* The one most of us have seen most often is surely the one from the opening titles of ''[[Hart to Hart]]'', right? "When they met, it was
=== [[Music]] ===
* There's one at the end of the music video for the [[Katy Perry]] song "Teenage Dream".
* In the music video for "For You I Will (Confidence)", Teddy Geiger shares this with Kristen Cavallari at a pool party he is playing at...while she is in her undergarments, no less.
* The music video for [[AFI]]'s "Love Like Winter" ends with something extremely similar, albeit in a "Let's drown together" sort of way.
=== [[Newspaper Comics]] ===
* [[Lampshade
=== [[Video Games]] ===
* The first ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' has Kratos doing this with some sea nymphs during an underwater segment.
* ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' has a major one. Yuna and Tidus' first kiss begins with them standing up to their chests in a lake, and then they tip over and go swimming...while making out.
* In ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate/Hollow Ataraxia]]'', if you take Sakura with you to the pool, you get a CG of this.
* The kiss between the girl and the blue boy in ''[[But That Was Yesterday]]''.
== Type B - Share the Air ==
=== [[Anime]]
* ''[[Love Hina]]'' '''almost''' had Naru and Keitaro doing a type B, but because Keitaro is the [[Butt Monkey]] it ended up failing.
* [[Future Diary|Yuno and Yukki]] have [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mirai_nikki/v03/c013/26.html one] that takes place in a huge cloud of poisonous gas, instead of water. That way, Yukki helps Yuno recover after having been [[Electric Torture|tased]] ''and'' poisoned by {{spoiler|Reisuke Honjou aka the Fifth.}} He then passes out afterwards, but this gives Yuno the chance to {{spoiler|finish Reisuke}} and save both of them.
Line 70 ⟶ 65:
* Utena's last scene with Touga in the movie-manga version of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' involves this.
=== [[Comic Books]] ===

** [[Sarcasm Mode|Sure he does]]...
* During the aftermath of "[[World War Hulk]]", [[The Incredible Hercules|Hercules]] had to hold up a part of Manhattan while underwater. Namora breathes for him this way, although Herc later admitted that he could hold his breath for the entire duration.
* There was this infamous [[Ho Yay]] case with [[Iron Man]] and [[Captain America (comics)]] when both Captain America is unconscious from poison gas and needs oxygen. Iron Man [http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/crimsonquills/slashymoments/Avengersv370-RedZone06-TheGreatEsca.jpg helps] [http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/crimsonquills/slashymoments/Avengersv370-RedZone06-TheGreatE-1.jpg him] [http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/crimsonquills/slashymoments/Avengersv370-RedZone06-TheGreatE-2.jpg get it], even at the risk of breathing in the gas himself.
* {{spoiler|Ethan and Ashleigh's}} first kiss in ''Scion'' was this type.
=== [[Film]] ===
* Used in ''[[Tomorrow Never Dies]]'' between [[James Bond]] and Wai Lin.
* ''[[Waterworld]]''
* In the CGI movie ''[[Resident Evil: Degeneration]]'' with Leon and the other lead girl (not Claire). Leading her last line to Leon along the lines of "lets go scuba diving again".
* In ''[[Splash]]'', while trying to start a boat's engine Tom Hanks' character is knocked overboard and falls unconscious underwater. Darryl Hannah's mermaid character swims up and kisses him. On [[YouTube]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGMf90z0Ytc starting at 1:00].
* In ''[[Hook]]'', Peter is rescued from drowning by a trio of sparkly mermaids.
Line 86 ⟶ 81:
* Paul Newman performed Type B on Richard Jaekel in the film ''Sometimes a Great Notion'' when Jaekel's character is trapped in rising water by a log. Jaekel's character eventually panics and drowns. Unpleasant.
* Lara Croft does this on her rival Alex West in ''[[Lara Croft: Tomb Raider|Lara Croft Tomb Raider]]'' after he got shot.
* In the ''Hellboy'' animated movie Sword of Storms, Abe Sapien saves Liz this way after their plane crashes in the ocean. Abe later admits he didn't know if it would work.
* In ''[[Cutthroat Island]]'' Morgan gives William a kiss whilst he's pinned behind some crates in the flooded hold.
* Jason Bourne attempts to revive {{spoiler|Marie}} this way after their car crashes off a bridge in ''[[The Bourne Supremacy]]''. {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real|It doesn't work]].}}
=== [[Literature]] ===
* In ''Flora's Dare'', Lord Axacaya pulls this on Flora. The age difference makes it distinctly squicky, especially with some of the other subtext.
* ''Goddess of the Sea'' by P.C. Cast has the mermaid Undine save and kiss the heroine Christine...for Christine to open her eyes to see that they've [[Freaky Friday Flip|Body Swapped]].
* It's quickly glossed over and Daphne does not seem to remember it, but there's a part in [[Nation]] where Mau saves Daphne from drowning using this trope in the process.
=== [[Live
* In ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', Alex (whose power is [[Super Not-Drowning Skills|breathing underwater]]) kisses Claire to give her oxygen.
* [[Xena]] and Lao Ma, when the former is hiding in the latter's pool.
* [[Due South|Fraser]] "buddy breathing" with Ray K in a sinking ship. Given his dumbfounded expression, I'm sure Ray thought the same way.
=== [[Video Games]] ===
* The oxygen machines in ''[[Mother 3]]'' are just robots... but they resemble mermen with pompadours who "kiss" you to fill up your oxygen.
* One of your (female) sidekicks in the Xbox game ''[[Galleon]]'' ([[Spiritual Successor]] to ''[[Tomb Raider]]'') does this to replenish your oxygen while swimming.
=== [[Web Comics]] ===
* In ''[[Magellan]]'', Fatima, not knowing the cultural significance of kissing between females, does a Type B with team mate Kaycee Jones in [https://web.archive.org/web/20120508123306/http://magellanverse.com/?p=737 Chapter 2]. Other team mates are suitably distracted!
* Dawn from ''[[Dawn of Time]]'' [http://www.dawnoftimecomics.com/index.php?id=156 is the given one of the Type B variety.]
=== [[Web Original]] ===
