Speaking about shore diving in Listvyanka, suffice it to say I have been diving there for 10 years already and I am never bored with what the lake has to offer. If you want the dive to be relaxing, stay closer to the shore and watch the funny fishes hiding in the sand and between the stones or marvel at the rich bushes of sponges. If you feel like having an underwater “hiking tour” – visit the rock formations; if you are eager to look into the abyss – try wall diving or even go away from the wall to experience sheer “flight” in the water with no walls and no floor: just you and the water space around. Quite often the lake allows you to make surprise findings, like old coins, anchors, or all possible and even impossible to imagine personal belongings lost by other divers or tourists some 2 hours or even 50 years ago: masks, knives, cups, necklaces, etc. If you are tired of making effort – go with the stream for some time (drifting in currents) and then get back to exploring the area.
