Diving Tuesday in Cove 2, we "flew" low over the shrimp. Some just watched us. Others jumped away. It was hard not to laugh.

How do they propel themselves so fast?

I forgot the magenta filter for my Go Pro, so I lost much color info.

You got to love it when the shrimp are so thick that they create a huge chain reaction when one jumps!

However, they can really mess up the viz!
