i have heard of some spider/tarantula (not sure which it was...) but I heard something like it can survive underwater for like 24 hrs or something....saw it on TV i think...but i was like DANG...now a T that can submerge...hahaha....next thing you know he will be swimming in the toilet when he gets out...lol!
I've never actually seen it, but a lot of people say that H. gigas can swim. And a dealer (can't remember which) told me that he's seen slings actually completely submerge themselves in a water dish when scared.
Apparently Atrax robustus can go into a form of "stasis" when they fall into swimming pools etc for many hours.
Then someone scoops it out thinking it's dead, and surprise surprise gets bitten.
