Why don’t you plunge yourself into the depths of the freezing ice cold white sea off the coast of Russia, its the only sea in Europe that freezes over during the winter months, if you can bare the freezing cold temperatures of the white sea, you will endure the most beautiful underwater experience ever. The underwater world of soft corals, starfishes, sea-urchins, sea anemones, crabs, myriads of colourful fish darting around, rocks and even abandoned shipwrecks to explore! As well as visibility between 30 and 50 meters, the white sea is the ice diving destination of choice for many thrill seekers.
As the name suggests ice diving takes place under ice, typically with a single entry/exit point, ice diving is considered to be an advanced type of diving that requires special training, it does not necessarily mean that it is a high risk activity, with the right safety precautions ice diving is as safe as any other form of scuba diving.
