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.

What type of spider can walk on water?

There is a genus of spiders called fishing spiders that can walk on water (a few of them can also swim in it as well using a portable silk bubble). They're known formally as Dolomedes. Fishing spiders have hairs on their legs that repel water, so that allows them to stand on the water. They eat frogs and other water-dwelling insects.
