Snake Island Relay

==Rules==
The challenge requires castaways to hold their breath underwater for as long as they can. The contestants are eliminated once they come up for air. Once enough contestants are eliminated, the final few compete in a swimming contest. The first person to complete the underwater obstacle course wins.
==History==
===United States===
In , all ten castaways submerged themselves underwater to see how long they could hold their breath. The top three castaways then had another competition of releasing buoys along a ladder submerged underwater. The first castaway to release all of their ten buoys would win immunity. Greg Buis, Gervase Peterson, and Sean Kenniff made it to the final round where Greg barely beat out Sean for immunity.
In , the castaways were divided by gender. The two people of each gender to stay submerged longest pass to the second stage. In the end, the two finalists from each gender would have to race to unclip buoys. The two winners would win immunity. Amber Brkich and Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien were the final women, while Lex van den Berghe and Rob Mariano were the final men. The women went first, and Kathy defeated Amber for immunity. Rob then defeated Lex for the men's individual immunity.
===France===
===South Africa===
In , the challenge appeared as the final six Immunity Challenge. The final two contestants would race to untie and release two buoys before swimming up to shore. In the final round, Angie Bennett and Grant Clark competed for the Immunity Necklace, with Angie handily defeating Grant to become the first woman in Survivor South Africa to wear the necklace.
