How do I make Bubble Columns in Minecraft?

I'm playing Minecraft 1.13 and I know how the new bubble columns work, but I don't know how to make them in compact spaces. I know how to use them in oceans but I want to make one in a 3 x 3 space. I just want to make a bubble column in a 3 x 3 column.

You have two options:

1. Magma block: it's found in the nether or in ocean ravine, and when placed underwater creates a bubble stream that pulls you down.

2. Soul sand: it's found in the nether, and when placed underwater creates a lifting bubble stream.

Also, all blocks in your column must be source blocks, or the column will not work.

Placing a Block of soul sand or magma

All you need to know to make a bubble column is that soul sand makes stuff go up, and magma makes stuff go down.

Once you have soul sand or magma, all you have to do is place it underwater, then use your new bubble column!
