OK, that made me smile!
It hadn't occurred to me that underwater bubbles could do this sort of thing, but I have to admit, it made me smile.
There was a TV show where dolphins played with bubbles. Looked a lot like this. Geoff Who notes liquids do some strange things, compared to the air we were born in.
Towards the end of the strip he talks about how the shrimp can produce bubbles that collapse with enough force to reach thousands of degrees K and kill prey.

Ya think farts would work just as well?
Just wondering.

Interesting and neat, can't help but wonder how long it took him to figure that out and get that trick to work!!!
I suspect the accompanying wave which carried the bubble did most of the work, but it still looks amazing! :)
