Kamchatka

The Kamchatka Peninsula,one of the Best Places for Scuba Diving in Russia is one of the few areas on the planet that has escaped the ravages of human avarice and activity. The Kamchatka Peninsula, with the Pacific Ocean on the east and the Sea of Okhotsk on the west, is one of the most unspoiled and stunning diving destinations in the world. The site offers a lovely aquatic life, with a surface area of 270,000 km2 and a greatest elevation of 4,750 meters.

The Kamchatka Peninsula is home to over 350 species of fish, seals, sea lions, sea otters, walruses, orcas, and whales, making it an excellent scuba diving destination. Diving in the waters and exploring the underwater world while immersed in the marine life is an activity that will undoubtedly invigorate your dead cells.

The weather and visibility are two factors that can cause problems for divers, as the climate here is fairly unpredictable, ranging from -2 to 14 degrees Celsius, and visibility is not ideal in bad weather. Though hard and exciting, scuba diving in the Pacific Ocean is clearly not for the faint of heart. Russia is known all over the world for its incredible scuba diving opportunities, and we can tell you that visiting Kamchatka will not disappoint.
