It's not easy to find, especially if your breath bar is ticking down.

You have to go down, sideways, then back up and through a crack. It's hard to describe, but the part most people miss is the going back up once you are through the first passage.

Keep trying!

Underwater Action is of course very useful in the cove - Water Breathing Pots can be drunk underwater too BUT clickies cannot be used underwater so don't rely on those.
75 Favour with House P gets you a Buffer {in House P} who you can pay a small sum to give you 30 mins of Water Breathing.
Alternatively there is also an Orc standing on a platform above the Arch at the entrance to the Cove slayer who if you can get to him will cast Water Breathing on you - This also lasts 30 minutes. You will need a quite high Jump for this {Somewhere around 25-30 I believe}.

Basically for the Bounty you need to swim out to the Dark patch of rocks and you will see the gap to dive through - Make sure you go all the way down into that gap and swim through the tunnel at the bottom - You will now be in a small roofed area which if you swim up to the roof and look around you will see another gap through which you can then swim to the Gold!

I used to have a real hard time making this within a 90 second Water Breathing Pot {incl the time it takes for your breath meter to expire afterwards} BUT once you know it it really isn't an issue.

DDO Maps 3 barrel cove
It's in the NW of the map and be sure to take some potions of water breathing, a water breathing item or some one who can cast it.

Awesome! Glad you found it. It's that going up inside the cave that's tricky.

Ya, even my second time of doing the explore took me like 5 min to find the crack sideways. Annoying and my minion kept teleporting in front of me.
