Lake Baikal, located in Siberia, Russia, is the deepest and oldest freshwater lake in the world, reaching depths of over 1,600 meters. It is renowned for its unique biodiversity, hosting numerous species that are not found anywhere else, including the Baikal seal (nerpa), various endemic fish species like the omul, and rich microbial life. The lake's unique ecosystem has made it a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Diving in Lake Baikal, especially in winter, involves specialized techniques and equipment due to the extreme cold and ice cover. Ice divers typically access the water through holes cut in the ice, using dry suits to keep warm. They also need to be equipped with safety equipment, such as tethers and underwater communication devices, to ensure their safety in the frigid conditions. The stunning underwater scenery and unique fauna make it a fascinating dive location for those willing to brave the cold.
