The Tver Quarry

Russian diving

Diving in Russia is a popular activity. Usually people indulge in it during their visit to some remote Southern place while having a vacation, but sometimes they want diving without a few hour flight South so the local ponds come into play.

They are usually not of great help for divers just because of their poor transparency which prevents seeing objects even a few feet away and just in general lack of interesting and colorful objects inside of them.

This old quarry located near Tver is a different story. The water is pretty clear here compared to the majority of the lakes in Russia and it has some picturesque objects to see and explore.
