The invention relates to the provision of an improved bearing and to apparatus incorporating the same. The bearing is particularly for use in environments where the bearing is submerged in a fluid and is used in conjunction with a component which allows the flow of fluid therethrough. The bearing has an inner and outer race and a cage within which a series of ball bearings are provided. In accordance with the invention a channel is formed between the cage, inner and outer races through which fluid can pass. The provision of the flow, prevents clogging with debris and minimises damage due to corrosion or other chemical attack on the bearing.
