[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]].

 

{{examples}}

 

* 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.

* Nagisa and Shizuma do this in ''[[Strawberry Panic!|Strawberry Panic]]'' (see picture).

* Hagino and Mari do one in the ''[[Blue Drop]]'' anime.

 

* In ''[[W.I.T.C.H.]]'', Cornelia and Peter share an underwater kiss after he saved her from being pulled under.

 

* 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.

* There's one in ''[[Whip It]]'' set to a rather awesome song.

 

* Used in ''Lock and Key'', a book by [[Sarah Dessen]].

* In the final ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'' book, Percy kisses Annabeth underwater.

 

 

* 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.

 

* [[Lampshade]]d in ''[[For Better or For Worse]].'' One of the teenagers, I forget which, tried making out with their significant other in a swimming pool but ended up choking as they inevitably took in mouthfuls of water. They came up for air and noted that it's not nearly as romantic in [[Real Life]].

 

* 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.

* The kiss between the girl and the blue boy in ''[[But That Was Yesterday]]''.

 

* ''[[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.

* Utena's last scene with Touga in the movie-manga version of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' involves this.

 

* ''[[Star Wars]]'': Kit Fisto [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/b/bc/AaylaKit.jpg breathes] for Aayla Secura this way.

** [[Sarcasm Mode|Sure he does]]...

* {{spoiler|Ethan and Ashleigh's}} first kiss in ''Scion'' was this type.

 

* Used in ''[[Tomorrow Never Dies]]'' between [[James Bond]] and Wai Lin.

* ''[[Waterworld]]''

* 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]].}}

 

* 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.

 

* 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.

 

* 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.

 

* Dawn from ''[[Dawn of Time]]'' [http://www.dawnoftimecomics.com/index.php?id=156 is the given one of the Type B variety.]
