Kaindy Lake is a unique place in Kazakhstan very famous among divers for its hidden underwater forest.
Here is a story of five a little bit crazy guys set off there looking for a good chance for ice diving.
The most remote place where they could get by cars was still at least 5 kilometers away from their goal.
The only option was to stay for a night in a nearby settlement and use locals’ horses to move tackle to the lake in the morning.
Local guides together with five horses started first to pave the way for the divers. After some hours of moving through knee-deep snow a beautiful view opened up before them.
Anticipation of submersion gave new strengths for its preparation. And at last watching beauty of a strange underwater world brought everyone who dived that day to euphoria.
OMG Russians are so poor they cannot even afford heated luxury swimming pool we have here in the west. I hope they survive hypothermia
Is this an artificial lake, like a dam or something? Why are there trees underwater?
It’s nature. You should do to your school, american.
I’ll certainly try to remember to “do my school” if I ever go to America…
You all are crackin’ me up. So funny “…do my school”. Nice pictures by the way. Thank you for sharing!
wow, this looks surreal.
Brrrr, cold.
Wickedly cool pictures! “Round here, we’d use snowmobiles!
Interesting post
Beautiful country!
Perhaps there is little oxygen in the water so the trees under water are preserved.
Interesting reportage.

The lake has been flooded in the recent past. that is why there are trees underwater. Maybe a damn was built a few years ago.
It is where they keep all of the potasium
Nice views!
This lake appeared as a result of earthquake which caused landslide. Mountain River was blocked by rocks and mud. Then this lake was filled up in a woody valley.
But why in winter?????

The trees are preserved because the lack of oxygen means they cant rot, this is how coal is formed.
Love my country )))
