This travel is based on the capacity of a small bus to carry diving
passengers.
That is, at least 5 max. 8 persons are needed to make this happen.
Unfortunately, nature's ways in concordance with the growth of mankind
don't always be in line with the strive for personal well-being.

In short, due to the resign of 3 designated participants, this travel
depends on finding 3 more passengers.
Leaving my SO and me as the only ones would stretch our financial
capacities a bit.

Lake Baikal near in Russia( Burjatia) is the worlds largest liquid
freshwater reserve, with a max depth of 1637m, a stunning biological
diversity as well as peculiarity, spectacular natural riches, and a
pretty technical competent dive scene.

There will be on week of liveaboard diving, one week of shorediving and
getting in touch with the locals.
Mrs. Feierabend, the wife of the guy who operates the tour, comes from
Lake Baikal and has lived at least 10 years among the shamanistic
culture, traces of which can be seen in her inspiring paintings.

All things related to diving may be hired from the locals. Modern stuff
like Apeks and everything.

with remaining time left.
