While Tess wasn't supernaturally fast, she was still a good natural swimmer. The woman had spent vast portions of her life swimming in potentially dangerous waters and knew how to handle herself easily here. As soon as they were moving in, she was coming right up with her fangs ba... damnit, rebreathers. Fuck rebreathers.

Whatever, she had the knife out and when another of them came at her, she took a swipe. As they tried to grab her, they blinked and pulled back, their hand in light pain for just a split second as they realized what her skin was like. It wasn't any serious damage, but ... the knife stab she followed up probably was a lot worse for them. Their bodies were on their way over, but hopefully she could reduce their numbers by one.
