Under Silver Stream

Under the old bridge, Silver Stream runs into a pit covered by a lid. What's down there, and how do you open it?
Nudge 1Where to look
The lid is made of wood. Something sharp from the mines would deal with it.
Nudge 2A stronger push
Down there is water, deep and long: Dizzy needs to breathe, and to swim back up.

Drop the bridgebuilder's sharp axe (from the mines' railway level, far left) on the lid: it opens. Carry the aqua lung and the flippers and dive in: the pit leads down into a flooded chamber of the mines, where the pair of brass cymbals lie, with four stars. The pit is one way: swim west out of the chamber into the mines, and leave them by The minecart.
Why it works
Under water, Dizzy's breath lasts two seconds without the aqua lung; the flippers make him swim up with each press of jump instead of sinking.
