After inquiring on the game rules and regulations, the first underwater hockey game was played in 1980 in the shop's swimming pool. The dive club of the University of the Philippines (known as UP divers) reached the sport after securing a regular venue for the scrimmages and practices, despite the crude equipment. They first played at the Quezon City Sports Club pool from 1984 to 1997. In 1990, the players formed the PUHC and registered by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1991. Years gone by, PUHC's membership was gradually increased.
