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.

Why does a diving spider surround itself with a bubble in the water?
Diving spiders make a sort of "diving bell" underwater. They live in there, so they need to fill it with air so they will have something to breathe. The spines on their body can trap air, so they rise to the top of the water, do a sort of somersault to throw themselves above the water surface and right back down into the water. When they come back under, they are covered in a bubble of air. They swim down to the diving bell where they shuck off the bubble of air. If there still is not enough air in their diving bell, then they may go back up again for another bubble.
