Diving at Lake Ekurgankol

Geographical information: Lake Ekyrgenkol is located in the Barskoon Gorge, in the Issyk-Kul region, at an altitude of 3640m above sea level. The lake is 3km long, 1km wide, and has a maximum depth of 20m.

Diving at Lake Ekyrgenkol is possible. A dirt road leads to the lake. Visibility in the lake reaches 8-12m. There is a small amount of fish in the lake, including mountain osman. The bottom topography consists of rocky and gravel slopes that gently transition to the lake's bottom. The lake is of interest for diving because it is located at an altitude of over 3500m above sea level. At this height, it is not easy for an average person to acclimatize without prior adjustment. Even after living in the mountains for some time, one does not get used to it immediately. Additionally, calculating decompression schedules for this altitude is challenging. However, I believe that if everything is done carefully, it is all possible.
