A year ago, as soon as I learned about the construction of DeepSpot, I decided I have to be the first RU-vidr to dive there. In the fall of 2019 I enrolled in the Oper Water Diver course, which I finished in the spring of 2020. Then it was time for the Advanced level, which I managed to do in early summer. Then I brought a full-face mask from the distant Italy, which costed me tons of money, and there was another course for its quite specific use. Building the audio system alone that allows me to talk and record underwater took me several weeks of testing, trials, errors, learning how to extract pure sound under those extreme conditions, and most importantly, finishing the Deep Diver course, which allows me to dive up to 40 meters. The DeepSpot is 45.5 meters long, but that's another story. With all the certificates and the equipment ready, I went to the facility to discuss my idea. There was no water yet, but I was shown around and there was no turning back for me: I had to make the video about diving in it! The swimming pool totally charmed me with its panache and opportunities of training on various levels. I told myself: if not me, then who? ;)
Here is the first part of my diving report in the DEEPEST POOL IN THE WORLD.
