The Moskvich wreck in Ekaterinburg serves as an artificial reef within the Ural Mountains.

Divers should note that conditions are variable, with potential for moderate currents and low visibility. Due to the nature of the wreck, there is a risk of entanglement with protruding metalwork. The site is suited for intermediate divers who are prepared for cold water conditions. Access is via a shore entry. Divers must monitor their depth and remain aware of their surroundings to navigate the wreck safely.
