Boat at full throttle goes right over me in shallow water

While filming my favorite lobster holes on the west end of the 7-Mile bridge in the Florida Keys, a boat goes right over me in about 6 feet of water. I had just a second to grab the structure on the bottom and hold myself down so I wouldn't get sucked up in the propeller and cut to shreds. Hold and pray for a few seconds then quickly swim back hugging the bottom to the safety of the bridge piling. I turn the camera on the boat after reaching the surface - I knew exactly where it was heading - out to the Atlantic. A scary close call as you hear the boat propeller high pitched whine just 2 feet or less over me. Filmed by Jim Edds of http://www.extremestorms.com/
