Diving adventures & tourism at Lake Baikal with
AQUA-ECO
You are dreaming about a place with no phones, schedules, or crowds of tourists? A place where you are face to face with wild, severe nature? A place where there are almost no signs of
civilization?
It is not a fairy-tale. It is here, waiting for you in Siberia, near the world-known mysterious Lake Baikal.
Lake Baikal is a natural treasure. Located in Russia near the Mongolian border and surrounded by mountains, forests, and wild rivers, the lake is an immense and breathtaking example of physical beauty.
Lake Baikal holds 20 % of the world's fresh water and harbors more endemic species of plants and animals than any other lake in the world. And it is so because this "well of the planet" is the deepest and oldest (30 mln years old) lake in the world.
A glimpse into the lake's clear water is enough to convince anyone that nature not only exists in Siberia, it flourishes.
The lake's surrounding wild mountains and rivers make the Lake Baikal Region an ideal area for engaging in outdoor pursuits such as hiking, climbing, water sports, skiing, nature photography, and, especially, SCUBA-diving.
This one-of-a-kind destination is a soft and hard adventure getaway for all kinds of brave people (couples, families, groups and singles) seeking to test their strength and courage under severe, sometimes extreme, conditions.
