 A partially submerged air-filled balloon being popped with a pin.  One can see the top of the balloon begin to shred

This is also a partially submerged air-filled balloon being popped with a pin.  This balloon is much further along than the previous though. The  top has completely shredded and the submerged portion is also tearing. We thought it was very fascinating the way bubbles retained the shape of the balloon)

 

 
 This is the same picture as above. We thought it looked quite interesting inverted.
 A completely submerged air-filled balloon popped with a pin.  Most of the balloon has shredded but some is of it is still visible.

 Another completely submerged balloon.  Due to the extremely sensitive nature of the sound trigger on this shot, it was exposed several times accidentally, but happened to produce an interested effect.  Notice the progression of my hand and the splashes

 

 

A partially submerged spherical balloon this time being shot with a high speed pellet gun.  The top has clearly shredded and tears near the surface of the water and a the bottom can be clearly seen.  The path of air bubbles visible in the bottom right corner was by the pellet bursting through the bottom of the balloon.

 

 

A fully submerged elongated balloon is the subject of interest here.  The balloon is shot from above causing air bubbles to spout out in the wake of the pellet.  There is also clearly visible rip beginning on the back side of the balloon.

 

 
Another completely submerged balloon.  A plume of air bubbles erupting from the point where the pellet entered the balloon is clearly visible
An almost completely submerged balloon.  It was shot dead center with the high speed pellet gun. You can see the ripples at the top of the balloon and point of exit of the pellet.
