Автобус is a freshwater wreck site located in Ekaterinburg, Russia, featuring a sunken bus that serves as an artificial reef. Situated in shallow, calm water, the site is suitable for newly qualified divers and those building early experience. Entry is via the shore. Divers should be aware of potential entanglement risks and sharp edges on the structure, which require good buoyancy control. Visibility is variable and can shift between visits, so it is recommended to check current conditions with local divers before entry. As facilities are unconfirmed, divers should arrive self-sufficient with all necessary equipment.
