Water Bowline

The water bowline is a type of knot designed for use in watery and underwater conditions where other knots may slip. Although similar in finished appearance to the double bowline, the water bowline is formed with two half hitches in the standing end, one on top of the other. This compares with the double bowline, which puts the running end through a doubled loop just once, hence the name. The additional friction from the two half hitches increases the security of this knot.
