This dive site, Bolduk Lake, is a part of the picturesque "Blue Lakes" unique hilly-lake natural complex located in the Belarusian Poozerie, within the Myadel region. A notable geological feature is a deep geodetic fault, stretching 75 km deep and 100 km long, which runs along the lake's fairway, potentially offering very unique and interesting underwater topography for exploration. The lake complex has even attracted the attention of ufologists, adding to its mystique.
The freshwater environment of Bolduk Lake is home to various fish species common to the Myadel group of lakes. Divers may encounter rudd, pike, roach, bream, and tench. These species are often observed in flocks, particularly during night dives, offering a different perspective on their behavior and habitat. While specific aquatic plant life is not detailed, typical lake flora would likely be present.
The best time to visit will depend on the desired water temperature, as lake diving can involve colder conditions. Night dives are highly recommended for the opportunity to witness active fish populations. Given its shallow maximum depth and reported average depth, Bolduk Lake is particularly well-suited for beginner divers and freedivers looking for a unique freshwater experience away from typical marine environments. The intriguing geological fault promises an interesting landscape beneath the surface.
