Way to go MacGyver. Add a paperclip and a wad of chewing gum, you could have
diverted the river and drained the pool of water.

I managed to dig up an old mask I used to wear about 20 years ago
in the swimming pool. Its back strap had long ago deteriorated and
broken, so I made do with a couple of bungee cords. I also sealed up
my brightest flashlight in several plastic bags, just in case it was
dark under there. My 5 gallon bead breaker air tank has a quick
connect valve on it, so I filled it to 120psi and grabbed a long
section of air hose and put a valve on the end. I also grabbed one of
my brother's 25lb barbell weights and tied a rope to it.
The air tank gave me about 8 minutes of underwater time, the weight
kept me from floating, and the mask allowed me to actually see what I
was doing. Unfortunately, I started out in the wrong area, but as I
was searching, my Dad came by and pointed out the place where he
thought I had dropped them. This was just as my air had run out. I
dove down, and sure enough, there they were. :-)
