Best for intermediate divers, 15-18m, boat entry, moderate current.
Blue Lagoon is a cold-water reef dive in the Nakhodka Area of Russia, reaching depths of 15 to 18 metres. Access is strictly by boat, and the site is suited for intermediate divers comfortable with moderate currents. Visibility typically ranges between 5 and 10 metres. Divers must manage a pronounced thermocline, as water temperatures fluctuate between 1°C and 14°C throughout the year. Due to the cold conditions and potential for rapid visibility changes, a drysuit is recommended. Divers should remain aware of their surroundings to avoid entanglement within the artificial reef structures present at the site.

Come prepared for the thermocline: a sudden temperature drop mid-water column can fog a poorly sealed drysuit or catch an unprepared wetsuit diver off guard, so check your kit thoroughly before entry. Confirm current conditions and boat availability locally before committing to a date, as facilities are not guaranteed on site.
Diving sites are located along the coastline from Khassan to Rudnaya Pristan, with boat access provided by DivePrim.
