We dive Lake Baikal all year round. That’s why:
1. Recreational diving courses take place any time, all year round (there are open-water areas in the Baikal all year round), thus, these do not require booking long in advance.
2. Ice Diving courses take place from February till beginning of April.
3. Technical diving courses take place from May till January (when the lake is not covered in ice).
4. Cave diving courses take place all year round.
If you are interested in taking Technical, Cave or Instructor courses with BaikalTek Instructors you have to keep in mind we are busy with safaris and courses, so the dates are to be agreed on in advance.
