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 one of Russia's top scuba diving destinations. Don't be startled; we're telling you the truth: the Black Sea is one of Russia's warmest diving destinations. This is one of the best dive sites in Russia.

The most lovely and useful aspect of these warm Black Sea waters is that you can even see dolphins beneath the water. Although there is no aquatic life beyond 150 to 200 meters deep in the seas due to high amounts of hydrogen sulfide, the bright side of the situation is that you can observe shipwrecks, which have been preserved here for extended periods of time. Apart from scuba diving, you may also explore the area. 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 underwater life is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
