Nothing better than a good swimming hole. And this one is literally a hole in the ground. That's me, shortly after having jumped from the launching pad at the top there. It was a hot day out on the bicycles so when we found the locals enjoying this spot, I had to join in.
It's an irrigation well and the water is at least 20 feet deep. Those stairs continue down another 10' at least underwater.
It was certainly dug by hand (imagine the effort) and probably a long long time ago. It's completely lined with stone.
As far as cleanliness, there are fish living in it, no algae or other signs of nutrient issues (fertilizer or waste), and well, a month later, I still don't have any rashes or skin diseases.
