Robin van Persie obviously enjoys diving so much he even does it when he's on holiday!

The Arsenal striker was snapped splashing around in the sea with his wife and children in Formantera.

The Dutchman was taking a bit of time out before competing in another Barclays Premier League campaign.

And he's managed to get in a bit of partying on his family getaway, posting a pic of himself with legendary DJ Tiesto. He also wrote: 'Love it jet ski time'.
