In principle I see how it works--thinking about an individual air bubble being dragged around by the water vortex ring makes that clear--it just amazes me that the actual ratio of forces involved is such that these rings can be so large and stable for such long times. I wouldn't have thought the viscous boundary layer at the air-water interface was up to the job, although it obviously doesn't much care what I think!
