It was my initial thought as well, but a microphone pointing down from a bo=
om will pick up all the water splash (which will be loud enough on its own)=
 plus any echo off the water surface - and that is a surface you cannot app=
ly sound damping to ...

If the microphone is below the people then the boom is going to get in the =
way of the activity, and the 'hole in the wall' is small enough that a pers=
on holding a boom is going to get in the way of the view, I think.
