Thanks Joe, I couldn't remember where I had posted those.

I may have to put Russia on my list of "must see" dive places.
+1 on that. I think i will look into it. The problem is I have no cold experience / training.
I do not have a lot of experience as a cave diver, but I dive in cold water all the time. I do not think you need any special training. Maybe it’s useful to hold your face in the water for a few seconds before diving. The only difference is that you need the warm clothing (insulation), and sometimes we use argon. Some people use clothes with electric heaters. And maybe, you feel each 1 degree if it’s a very big difference, when the water temperature is below 6 C.
Experience ... Just one thing. You like or you do not like to dive in cold water.You know it very quickly.
There are a lot of Russian divers who never dives in Russia. They like to dive, but it should be comfortable. So they dive a few times a year in warmer climates.
Wow! Beautiful caves, and some excellent photography. Thanks for sharing.
Now I just need the air fare and a way to get the equipment there. We dive 3 - 4 C every winter here. It's the best diving but never that clear. We can do 1 1 1/2 hrs in that temp, not on a scooter. How did I ever get land locked?
