This dive site is located on Bolshoy Boltsyk lake, a body of water of spring origin in Belarus. Access to a specific glade for diving is possible with permission from the National Park management, allowing divers to drive directly to the site. This location serves as the closest entry point to a significant underwater canyon, which dramatically shapes the lake's bottom with an interesting and varied relief. While the immediate glade area reaches a maximum depth of 10 meters, venturing further towards the canyon can reveal depths of up to 24 meters, creating an engaging topography with notable depth differences.
Unfortunately, the description explicitly states that this is "a relief dive without living creatures." Therefore, divers should not expect to encounter diverse marine animals or plant life during their visit. The focus of the dive is entirely on the geological formations and underwater landscape.
The best time to visit would likely be during warmer months to mitigate the cold water typical of lakes in this region, although specific seasonal highlights are not provided. This site is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, with the shallower areas perfect for beginners and snorkelers, while the deeper canyon offers a challenging and rewarding experience for more advanced divers. Divers should ensure they obtain the necessary permissions from the National Park management prior to their visit.
