Best for beginner divers, 15-40m, shore entry.
Bungur Black Island is a shore-entry freshwater dive site in Siberia. The site features a reef structure extending from 15 to 40 metres in depth. Conditions are characterised by low visibility, typically ranging between 5 and 10 metres, which necessitates good buoyancy control. The water is consistently cold, even during summer months, making dry suits or thick thermal protection essential for diver comfort. As there are no confirmed facilities on-site, divers must be self-sufficient and carry all necessary equipment, including surface marker buoys. The site is suitable for beginners, though those with limited experience should remain in the shallower sections of the reef to stay within recommended depth limits.
