* In the tie-in comics for ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', Superboy's rebreather is knocked off in a battle against Ocean Master when he and Miss Martian join Aqualad on a trip to Atlantis. Miss Martian, who has morphed herself to have gills, [[ShipTease immediately rushes over to him and does this to save him]]. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent They can occasionally be seen in the background doing this for the remainder of the fight]].

* In ''VisualNovel/Bustafellows'', in Crow's route, when Crow was trapped underwater and Teuta isn't able to free him, she makes several trips above surface to transfer oxygen to him to buy Shu enough time to get help.

* There was this infamous HoYay case with ComicBook/IronMan and Comicbook/CaptainAmerica when Captain America is unconscious from poison gas and needs oxygen.

* During the aftermath of ''Comicbook/WorldWarHulk'', [[Comicbook/TheIncredibleHercules Hercules]] had to hold up a part of Manhattan while underwater. Namora breathes for him this way, although Herc later admitted that he could hold his breath for the entire duration.

* ''FanFic/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiDuo'': When Nagisa is knocked into an aquarium tank in chapter 8 and nearly drowns, Hanon kisses him to give him air.

* In ''Film/{{Hook}}'', Peter is rescued from drowning by a trio of sparkly mermaids and they do this to him.

* Ava and Luck's first kiss in the YA book ''Salvage''. Deconstructed, as they do ''not'' have SuperNotDrowningSkills and so immediately break apart for air.

* An episode of the anime that Lt. Clouseaux was watching in the ''Literature/FullMetalPanic: The Second Raid'' OVA featured this... until Kurz got a hold of them and replaced them with footage of two pigs kissing. Clouseaux was [[BerserkButton NOT amused]].
* Nagisa and Shizuma do this in ''Literature/StrawberryPanic''.
* Hagino and Mari do one in the ''Manga/BlueDrop'' anime. [[KissingDiscretionShot Not that we see it...]]
* Haruka and Yuu do this in ''Manga/SakuraTrick'' at the bottom of a swimming pool, but they only last a few seconds before they have to come up for air.
* ''Literature/TheWorldsFinestAssassin'' features this scene in the 10th episode of the anime. As both [[TheHero Lugh]] and [[LoveInterest Dia]] made love in the secret spring, both hair turns into their original silver color from the dark hair they use as a cover.

* [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark Kent]] and Lori Lemaris have kissed a few times underwater. Clark can't drown and Lori's a mermaid, so it makes sense.

[[AC:{{Film}}]]

%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. ''Who'' is kissing and where? * Happens in ''Film/{{Oblivion 2013}}''.
%%

* Ki-su and Chun-shim share one after they [[DiveUnderTheExplosion jump from the exploding train into the river]] in ''Film/{{Quick}}''. It is cut short when a wheel from the train hits Ki-su on the head.

* This happens in the Baz Luhrman version of ''[[Film/WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet Romeo and Juliet]]''. The balcony scene is instead (partly) a pool scene.
* ''Film/GreatWhite'': They don't actually kiss, but Charlie and Kaz lean into each other and touch foreheads underwater just before they part to attempt to deal with the second shark. Later [[spoiler:Michelle]] kisses Kaz to transfer air to when she is trapped in the shipwreck.

* Used in ''Literature/LockAndKey'', a book by Creator/SarahDessen.

[[AC:{{Music}}]]

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarI'' has Kratos doing this with some sea nymphs during an underwater segment.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' has a major one. Yuna and Tidus' first kiss begins with them standing up to their chests in a lake, and then they tip over and go swimming...while making out.
* In ''[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Fate/Hollow Ataraxia]]'', if you take Sakura with you to the pool, you get a CG of this.
* The kiss between the girl and the blue boy in ''VideoGame/ButThatWasYesterday''.

* ''Manga/LoveHina'' '''almost''' had Naru and Keitaro doing it, but because Keitaro is the ButtMonkey it ended up failing.
* In ''Manga/FushigiYuugiGenbuKaiden'', Takiko gets thrown off the rowboat she and Limdo were on and he jumps in after her. Since she's close to drowning, he gives her a breathe of air and uses his [[BlowYouAway wind powers]] to get themselves out of the water. She later calls it a kiss, with Limdo blushing because he didn't see it as that.

* Utena's last scene with Touga in the movie-manga version of ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' involves this. [[spoiler: As a bonus, Touga is ''DeadAllAlong''.]]
* In ''Manga/AkumaNoRiddle'' Haru gives a drowning Tokaku air so she doesn't drown after being locked in a cage underwater.

* In ''Manga/BladeOfTheImmortal'', when Shira ties a rock to Rin's feet and tries to drown her in a freezing river, Manji first gives her a breath of air, and then receives one himself from Tanpopo when he passes out underwater.

* There was this infamous HoYay case with ComicBook/IronMan and Comicbook/CaptainAmerica when Captain America is unconscious from poison gas and needs oxygen. Iron Man [[http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/crimsonquills/slashymoments/Avengersv370-RedZone06-TheGreatEsca.jpg helps]] [[http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/crimsonquills/slashymoments/Avengersv370-RedZone06-TheGreatE-1.jpg him]] [[http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j144/crimsonquills/slashymoments/Avengersv370-RedZone06-TheGreatE-2.jpg get it]], even at the risk of breathing in the gas himself.

[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* Used in ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'' between Film/JamesBond and Wai Lin.
* In ''Film/{{Waterworld}}'', the Mariner does this for Helen, since he can breathe underwater.
* In the CGI movie ''Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration'' with Leon and the other lead girl (not Claire). Leading her last line to Leon along the lines of "lets go scuba diving again".
* In ''Film/{{Splash}}'', while trying to start a boat's engine Tom Hanks' character is knocked overboard and falls unconscious underwater. Creator/DarylHannah's mermaid character swims up and kisses him.
* In ''Film/{{Hook}}'', Peter is rescued from drowning by a trio of sparkly mermaids and they do this to him.
* ''Film/TheTransporter'' steals the last breath of the {{Mook|s}} who fell into the water with him. Jason Statham got no end of ribbing from the production crew for it.
* Creator/PaulNewman did this to Richard Jaekel in the film ''Sometimes a Great Notion'' when Jaekel's character is trapped in rising water by a log. Jaekel's character eventually panics and drowns. Unpleasant.
* Lara Croft does this on her rival Alex West in ''Film/LaraCroftTombRaider'' after he got shot.

* Jason Bourne attempts to revive [[spoiler:Marie]] this way after their car crashes off a bridge in ''Film/TheBourneSupremacy''. [[spoiler:It doesn't work.]]
* In ''Film/TheShapeOfWater'' this doubles as a MagicKiss, when in the finale the humanoid aquatic creature kisses Elisa who is about to drown and she suddenly develops gills so she should breathe herself underwater.

* ''Series/DueSouth'': Fraser "buddy breathing" with Ray K in a sinking ship. Given his dumbfounded expression, I'm sure Ray thought the same way.
* The "Breath of Air" variant occurs in the preultimum episode of second season of ''Series/BabylonBerlin'' when Gereon administers oxygen mouth-to-mouth to Charlotte who is stuck [[TrappedInASinkingCar underwater in the car]].

* The oxygen machines in ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'' are just robots... but they resemble mermen with pompadours who "kiss" you to fill up your oxygen. The party characters can be seen blushing after the process finishes. Later, in New Pork City, Lucas and friends run into one last oxygen machine (which has been retrofitted to look like a centaur) who offers its services again for old times' sake.
* One of your (female) sidekicks in the Xbox game ''Galleon'' (SpiritualSuccessor to ''Franchise/TombRaider'') does this to replenish your oxygen while swimming.
* Protagonist Naija and [[spoiler: her (eventual) boyfriend [[SatelliteCharacter Li]]]] have one when they first meet in ''VideoGame/{{Aquaria}}''. Mostly because Naija, being a [[FishPerson Fish Girl]] who has lived underwater for almost her entire life (and is therefore unaware of creatures that can only breathe air), [[NiceJobBreakingItHero had just pulled off his diving helmet]]. The kiss permanently grants [[spoiler: Li, whose short name complicates spoiler tags]] [[SuperNotDrowningSkills the ability to breathe underwater]], because Naija is a magic fish girl who can tap into the [[MagicMusic power of the Verse]]. Or something. [[MST3KMantra Just roll with it.]]

* VideoGame/BlueGuardianMargaret [[InvertedTrope inverts]] this by having [[GorgeousGorgon Gorgeous Gorgons]] suck the air out of Margaret until she drowns. Since she spends most of the game holding her breath underwater, these monsters can be a problem for her OxygenMeter.

* Dawn from ''Webcomic/DawnOfTime'' [[http://www.dawnoftimecomics.com/index.php?id=156 is the given one.]]
