Black Sea

If you know even a little bit about Russia, you've probably heard of the captivating Black Sea. If you want to experience the magnificent feeling of scuba diving but aren't ready to face the wrath of cold water on your body, Black is among the Best Places for Scuba Diving in Russia.

Don't be surprised; we're telling it like it is: the Black Sea is one of Russia's warmest diving destinations. The most wonderful and beneficial aspect of the Black Sea's warm waters is that you can even see dolphins under water.

Though there is not much aquatic life to view beyond 150 to 200 meters deep in the waters due to high amounts of hydrogen sulfide, the bright side of the situation is that you can see shipwrecks, which have been preserved here for extended periods of time. Apart from the scuba diving fun, you can also tour the surrounding areas.

One fantastic spot to visit is the village of Olenevka in Crimea, which has an underwater museum with busts of Soviet leaders. Visiting the Black Sea and seeing the underwater life is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
