FWIW, I (and most of the Mountain West) got my deep water certification at Blue Hole, which has a pH of 10.5. It's not like some crazy acid bath; there are, in fact, some condemned goldfish swimming around. Just pointing out that this isn't some hell lake.

Elodea canadensiscan survive in pH 10 water. I don't think it'll thrive, though.
