11.03 – 18.03.2007 – these are the dates of final Jeep Ice Safari for this season. Why is it the last one – ice is still thick and winter does not seem to give up its rights? That’s because “BaikalTek” has new exciting events ahead.
This summer's season has coem to an end. July and August included classes, safaru, classes, technical safari, daily diving, classes, and technical safari. However even though summer season has ended, diving hasn't.
First safari on the ship “Valery” for the season of the year 2006. First safari on diving boat “Valery” took place May 31st – June 3rd. The route was “Beginning of Angara River”; we dove at dive sites of Bolshie Koty – Srednyaya, Sobolev, Skripper, and at Round Baikal Railroad – Serebryannyi Klyuch, Polumesyac and Katorzhanka wall. The participants of the safari were diving club MSU, headed by the president of the club Dimity Orlov – instructor CMAS, SDI, TDI and course-director PADI.
In March 2006 we held several ice diving safaris at Maloe Sea and Olkhon Isle. The weather was truly accommodating us – month of March is a perfect time for such safaris. It’s already relatively warm and not too windy. Ice is also very good in March –it is thick, but it is also moving around, creating very beautiful constructions for diving.
Season of year 2006 is almost over, but ship "Myth" has just held its first safari. Mostly we had smaller groups, so we've been using such vessels as "Merlin" and "Mars:; or we had extremely big groups which required ships like "Valery". Now, from 1st to 6th of October, we had Plosh group of divers "Nautica", headed by Janusz Solarz There were 8 of them - perfect group for Yaroslavets"
New Year of 2006 we met at Baikal on the ship in the diving Safari. Yes, that's right! Nobody wonders when people celebrate New Year on the cruises somewhere in Thailand or Maldives. Why is Baikal any worse?
A new record in deep diving at Baikal was made by instructor TDI Gennady Misan, who made a dive on 140 meters! Gennady used 2 mixes of trimix fro a dive and 3 nitrox for decompression. See photographs and article "The record dive in Lake Baikal".
