small town of Listvyanka. We toured the newly renovated Limnological
Museum, where we dove to Baikal's depths in a simulated submersible. We
explored the other science and history exhibits and watched adorable
nerpa chase each other in the aquarium. In the afternoon, we traveled
to a dock where two divers retrieved sample from 30m below Lake Baikal's
surface. After lifting the samples into our boat, we observed the
sponges, sculpins, gammarids, and other organisms, including a
startlingly violet gammarid and a beautifully striped orange sculpin.
On our way back, clouds gathered overhead, and the winds picked up,
making for a cold, rocky, but exciting journey back to Bol'shie Koty.
After dinner we enjoyed a slideshow and discussion of our findings.

Wetsuits come in many different styles and neoprene thicknesses. The type of wetsuit you wear really depends on what kind of diving you want to do, how warm the water is, and how deep you plan on going.singapore scuba diving
