First, if you see an animal go under and you know its a duck and he's been down for more than 10 seconds you get into that pond and get him out: he needs help! Second, a duck-like bird that can stay underwater long is a loon. The waterfowl that can stay underwater the longest has to be the cormorant. I've timed one who stayed underwater for a total of two minutes!
