What is the difference between a two way and three way speaker?

A two-way speaker has two speaker cones built into one speaker assembly: one cone to generate lower-frequency sounds and one cone to generate higher-frequency sounds. The low-range speaker cone is larger, the high-range cone is smaller. In car speakers, the low-range speaker cone usually occupies most of the area of the speaker, and is made from a light-weight, paper-like material, sometimes painted black, sometimes gray. A three way speaker has three speaker cones built into the assembly, an additional cone for mid-range frequency sounds.

Why you can hear sounds better in air then you can underwater?

Sound moves faster and further in water than air, so it would seem like it must have something to do with the receiver. I'm guessing, but I'd guess it's because the eardrum evolved to hear sounds in air. Underwater you don't hear using the eardrum, you hear by way of bone conduction which apparently doesn't let you hear normal sounds as well as the air/eardrum method.
