This is not true. I mentioned that all piercing variations (needles, spears, and shooting) are understandable, but hooks are different. The body of a hook is pole-shaped and its modus operandi is swinging... Swinging through water (or air for that matter) is considerably easier with an edged tool.

I'm not saying that properly handling a sword underwater is easy or even possible, but any environment that makes hooks a viable weapon should make swords just as viable if not preferable. That is unless there is another (hidden) issue with swords that isn't present in hooks.
