Once a year, Jim puts on his mask and snorkel and checks out the pond
and the 7' deep well (old septic tank). He looks crazy snorkeling in
22" of water. the fish quickly get used to him and ignore him.

I think I read that there is something dangerous eye & eye ailment-
wise possible from going under water. They said to be sure and wash
well immediately. My DH had to do some underwater work a few years
ago,but he did hose down right away. His biggest problem was the
slippery bottom and getting a foothold to get out. We finally had to
give him a rope to pull with til he could hoist himself over the edge
of the 18" raised pond - 3 ft middle depth. Darn stone got lodged in
the bottom drain return hose. We still do not have it our, couldn't
get it even with a snake.
