Have you actually been UNDER the boat yet? Most houseboats
are pontoon boats, and you get under them no problem and still
breathe. I had to do that once (twice actually) to fix a freshwater
plumbing problem on a rental houseboat. New boat, the factory
hadn't tightened the hose clamps.

I'd like to clean the bottom of my boat, while it's
in the water. Is there a fairly easy and economical
way of breathing while a few feet below the surface?
A snorkle won't work because I'll be going under
a houseboat, but am wondering if a hose could
be made to work, or maybe a larger piece of tubing
with a hose attached so it's small enough to be held
in your mouth. Or something...?
