Best Answer

Diving and swimming underwater is very normal behavior for a 2 month old duck. Ducks dive in the wild to get food (pondweed, minnows, snails etc.). When I raised ducks for Wildlife Rescue, I let them swim in a large 3' deep childrens pool. They would dive and swim underwater for many feet. This actually strengthens their swimming skills and is a sign of a healthy duck.
