it probably does for guys. As for girls, well I have been competitive swimming for years and I dont have super nice abs or anything. I also play waerpolo and do cross country; all sports which use abdominals to perform. My abs arent super toned and I'm in great shape. The rest of your body gets very toned.

How would i go about opening my own scuba diving centre abroad?

Reiterating what others have said, butterfly but NOT the stroke in it's entirety. Streamline fly kick on your back, especially if you can get a monofin and train with that, will condition your abs more quickly. If you're a quick swimmer, streamline fly kick on your stomach under water. On your back will condition lower abs, on your front, upper. The stroke itself, if done properly, will also condition your abs but it's the doing the stroke properly that is the problem.

Look up other core strength exercises if you really want to go after it.
