Is anyone familiar with diving in Western Russia near St. Petersburg? I plan on visiting in June and hope to find something not too far from the city. I know Russia is not exactly tourist friendly so getting some info on how reliable potential dive operators may be would be nice. I will bring my own regs but figure it will be 7m or dry-suit diving. Hopefully a good dive operator is to be found with rental gear. Are the only really good options Lake Ladoga and the Gulf of Finland? How cool to dive during the White Nights!
June 2007? You've got a lot of time to find contacts.
Look at www.diveforum.spb.ru
There are at least 5 "dive operators" active in local diving.
Tell me what you are interested in and we'll work out some plan.
Dry-suit might be difficult to rent. Both Ladoga and Gulf of Finland would require dry-suit. You can use 7 or 7+7 mm wet suit but it will shorten your dive.
For diving in White Nights you'd rather go further North. Ladoga and GF have 3 - 6 m visability comparing 20-30 m in White Sea.

hi, Bill Warren here just back from diving the Black Sea near Yalta and there I found a 2000 year old Greek ship with treasures. Contact me and tell a friend. I want to launch a salvage project as well as in Barbados where I found another wreck from 1805. Treasure on beach as well. My phone is 1 760 451 3573
