Dive Centre Dessa

Then, simultaneously with the foundation in France by Jacques-Yves Cousteau of the International Confederation of Underwater Activities (CMAS) and the Federation of Underwater Sports in the USSR, the Marine Club "Volna" was created at the Moscow Aviation Institute, the successor of which was the club "Dessa". Then the training of scuba divers was carried out according to the DOSAAF system, and the word “comrade” was the accepted address in the country. Now the club "Dessa" is a place where the word "TOVARISCH" has been preserved cleared of political and social husks. In 1994, the dive center "Dessa" received the status of a CMAS dive center, and in 1997. – PADI. In 2004, Dessa received a TDI/SDI dive center license. The club "Dessa" gathered real romantics, people in love with the sea and adventure. Speed ​​swimming, freediving, underwater photography and videography, spearfishing, speleology, technical diving, archaeology, development of new underwater equipment and assistance in the design and testing of serious aviation equipment - two-medium vehicles - this is an incomplete list of club members' activities. We have developed, tested and put into operation: a modular underwater lighting system, an underwater universal video box, an underwater towing vehicle, a cylinder crimping device. Sealed housings have been developed for various underwater devices. Club "Dessa" organized and conducted the first Russian expedition to the island in the westernmost part of the Japanese archipelago (February 2004). The purpose of the expedition was to study the amazing temple complex resting on the seabed, which has analogies with the temple in the high mountain sanctuary of Machu Picchu. Together with the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, underwater archaeological research was successfully carried out in the area of ​​Sochi, as well as research into the waters of the Kerch Strait and the waters of the Gulf of Finland. The purpose of the expedition was to find sunken equipment from World War II. As a result of the search, information on 23 aircraft and more than 50 other sunken objects appeared in the club's archive. As a result of joint research with the Khersones-Tavrichesky Reserve and the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the coastal waters of Sevastopol in 2001-2002, an international scientific project was launched, the purpose of which is to create a catalog of archaeological sites of the Black Sea and an underwater archaeological map of the region. This will allow not only to draw important conclusions about the development of navigation from the ancient period to the present day, but also to restore the ancient topography of the Black Sea coast. And this is not a complete list of our achievements in recent years. If you want to know more - come visit us!
