Default How deep is too deep?

Xref: kermit rec.ponds:148596

One of the folks here in this newsgroup has a 5' deep pond in Southern
California.

I suspect that if he was to do it over, he will stay between 36-48"

For Southern Cali, I think that's mighty deep!

I'm enlarging my pond, going from about 6' x 6' x 3' to
something like 10' x 15'. I thought I go 5' deep this time
but now I'm wondering if 7 or 8 feet is "too deep". Does anyone
have a pond this deep or deeper and do you regret it? Digging
will be more of a chore but you only have to do it once :-)

My philospohy is to pick a length and width that fits the
garden asthetically and then make it as deep as possible.

Thanks for any input.
