My dog was with me and she was darting from side to side watching also. I don't know their actual speed underwater but they are fast.
I've always wanted to see one dart by underwater while diving. It would probably startle the hell of me, but it would be cool. I have seen one dart by off the front of the dock, but didn't realize exactly what I saw until it surfaced a little later.
