scuba diving. His father, Prince William, revealed this during a meeting with Olympic champions Adam Peaty and Tom Dean in October 2023.
William said that George, who is second in line to the British throne, loves scuba diving and has been enjoying it since he was 11 years old. He added that they took him under the water thinking he would freak out, but he absolutely loved it.
William, who is also a patron of Swim England and the English Schools' Swimming Association, said that he is well aware of the great benefits and pleasure that can be derived from swimming. He added that he swam and played water polo throughout his days at school and university.
Kate, the Princess of Wales, is also a fan of scuba diving, as well as other types of swimming, including cold water swimming. The Wales family are no strangers to scuba diving as both William and Kate have tried it before. William has been patron of Swim England since 2017.

This is nothing special. I learned to scuba dive when I was 10.
