Seascape nominee

Often life is a race. A race where everyone is constantly racing back to back like these ghost like horses are here underwater. You only see a snap shot of their race but what are they racing for? Are they moving as a group or are they competing against each other? Are they racing for the first place, the top position — to be the best; or are they simply having fun, enjoying each others company while embarking on a journey through the sea?
In this underwater race, the winner is the first one to die
