Divers from Poltava, Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia installed a Christmas tree at the bottom of the Novomykolaiv granite quarry in the Dnipropetrovsk region. 12 divers took part in the dive.
As Andrii Vorobyov, the head of the diving school in Dnipro, who is the main organizer of the event, told in the commentary “UP. Life”, such an unusual tradition of setting Christmas trees in the water has been going on for 20 years.
“More often than not, we install a festive tree in our Novomykolaiv quarry, we invite diver boys from Poltava, Zaporizhzhia to join in the action, this year they were also“, Andrii says.
The maximum depth of the Novomykolaiv granite quarry is 47 meters, but this year the participants decided to install a Christmas tree at a depth of 30 meters. The whole process of dipping and installing the Christmas tree took an hour.

“30 meters – this is approximately the height of a 10-story building. And this is quite a serious depth. Not all divers can dive like this, amateurs definitely not. This can be done by technical divers – this is a special qualification where divers can afford to dive with a load – into icy water, deep water and use special equipment and suits“, Andrii Vorobyov adds.
The Christmas tree was decorated with a garland that glows under water. As Andriy says, this is a special hermetic garland with special batteries. This year it was made and brought by divers from Zaporizhzhia. It glowed underwater for three hours. This is quite a long time, notes a professional diver.
According to the man, setting up a Christmas tree in this way is a tradition for divers.

The greatest depth to which Andrii and his colleagues installed a festive tree was 50 meters.
