I can't imagine someone with Semi-Aquatic ever willing to learn Aquabatics. It will be a skill with a built-in penalty for its main use! Read carefully:

You suffer skill penalties under water, yet move at 1/5 on the ground too! Now, if there was a way to suffer skill penalties on land instead of underwater (I once asked for such a swap's legality in a thread), that would be another matter.
