Mask bubbles (particles) - or some other solution.

Hello,
Here I have a demo of an underwater shot of someone drowning.

I'm using a particle layer to make the bubbles and can't figure out how to make them disappear as they break the surface of the water. Of course I need all the other layers to still show and I need the bubbles layer in front of all the other layers so you can see them.

Any help at all is greatly appreciated as I am pretty stumped.
Thanks!
Stoley

You can easily use the water layer as mask for the bubbles, just put them into the same group layer.

Thanks Slowtiger,
I really had labored over the mask settings and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. You encouraged me to look again and I still don't know what the problem with my settings was, but now it is working.
Sorry for wasting your time! I appreciate your speedy reply!
