About Kaindy lake

Kaindy Lake is set in a forest of conifers 2,000m above sea level. The lake was created as the result of an enormous limestone landslide. The embankment partitioned the gorge with a natural dam. The 400m-long lake is almost 25 m deep. There are fine views over the Saty Gorge, the Chilik river valley and the Kaindy gorge. The dried-out trunks of submerged fir trees rise above the surface of the water like the masts of a sunken ship.

Dive Site Hazards

Misleading Line Tension — Line tension changes can give false cues about exit direction.
Cold-Induced Gas Consumption — Cold stress increases breathing rate and gas usage.
Reduced Failure Tolerance — Minor equipment issues escalate rapidly due to cold and dexterity loss.

Gradual Narcosis Onset — Narcosis may develop slowly, making self-assessment unreliable.

Task Fixation at Depth — Cognitive narrowing at depth can reduce awareness of time and ascent rate.

Increased Gas Density Breathing Load — Higher gas density at depth increases work of breathing.

Landmark Misidentification — Familiar sites can become unrecognisable at night.

Light-Induced Tunnel Vision — Focused light beams reduce peripheral awareness.

Depth Perception Errors — Reduced ambient light increases depth perception mistakes.
