I don't speak Russian myself, but I have always had this weird fantasy about divin in Lake Baykal.
Hopeless I know - it is a 6 hour flight and a 5 hour further drive from Moscow. And if I ever did get there, I would find my O-ring was broken and I didn't have a spare.
Hello, everybody! My name is Andrey Bobkov, I am a PDA Instructor and work for a dive center in Irkutsk, we also have a dive center in Listvyanka, right on the Baikal shore, so, Phone Man, you are really welcome to dive with us - no worries about a spare O-ring - we have everything necessary, even Inspiration Rebreathers, if anybody is interested in that.
Yes I did Baikal diving - but there nothing to see - only incredible cleas water (you can drink it underwater), huge green sponges (like cactuses from Mexican desert), drop off and very very few small creatures for Marco - It is just good place come there to say I did dive in the lake with 25 % Fresh water of the world. But go there second time??? for .. Russian North seas 20 times more interesting and exiting than Baikal
Andy B - pity you did not have enough time to explore the lake as well as we have, I am ready to show you some really interesting places. Our dive club members annually go on Lake Baikal expeditions in June, we have many interesting findings, say, an ancient ship wreck we found last year in the area of CircumBaikal Railway.
