If you're asking how it breathes underwater, it lives in a bell-shaped structure of

silk, (an underwater web) open beneath like a diving bell, and filled with

air which the spider carries down in the form of small

bubbles attached one at a time to the spinnerets and hind

legs. . so it basically carries a bubble around with it when its underwater.
Water Spiders breathe through two small openings on the underside of their abdomen. These openings connect to lung-like organs.

Why do you think a diving spider surrounds itself with a bubble in the water?

water spiders are just like any other spider. they need oxygen to breathe. since their home is in the water, best thing to do is to bring the air to their home, that way they can breathe. the way they bring the air down with them is due to special hairs on their abdomen. they catch the air and allow the spider to bring it down with them.

What do you know about a water spider?

Water spiders don't have gills but they do have a really neat way of breathing. The spider will spin the web on the water surface and collect air bubbles to fill it from underneath. The spider can then pop up under its web and breathe when it needs to. These spiders also mate and lay their eggs in the 'air bubble web'.These spiders can be found around, and often in, lakes, ponds and streams, floating on sticks and leaves.
