In St.Petersburg's "Batiskaf" was organized a New Year Eve party for young divers from dive clubs "Baltika" and "Batiskaf".

All the young guests were presented nice googles at the entrance to "Batiskaf", in order kids could see all the underwater beauty. 

The young divers took participance in many funny competitions like "The fastest collector of diving equipment set".

Also kids could enjoy the special theatre programm shown by beautiful mermaids:

Of course every young diver received his present from "Batiskaf":

The last pleasant task for the young guests was to write a wish on paper and with the air ballon leave it fly into the sky:

The party was really great, not only children, but also adults enjoyed the celebration of New Year. 

Happy New Year!

В минувшие выходные у самых юных дайверов - участников клубов "Балтика" и "Батискаф" - была уникальная возможность пообщаться с настоящим подводным Дедом Морозом. Несмотря на внешнюю конспирацию под униформой обычного  "великоустюгского" Деда Мороза, подводный Дедушка принимал детей в своей питерской резиденции - магазине "Батискаф", где для юных дайверов была организована отличная праздничная программа.

Если тебе не хватает праздничного настроения, если ты хочешь блеснуть эрудицией на любой дайверской (охотничьей) тусовке, если ты хочешь предаться воспоминаниям о самых громких событиях подводного мира последних трех месяцев - то тебе самое время отправиться в ближайший магазин "Батискаф" за своим бесплатным экземпляром новогоднего номера журнала "Батискаф"!

"Batiskaf" warmly congratulates the Confederation of Underwater Activities in Russia (CMAS representative in Russia), a successor Federation of Underwater Sports of the USSR (Soviet FBS), on its 50th anniversary!

CMAS-Russia has made an invaluable contribution to the development of organized scuba diving and underwater sports in the USSR, and then - Russia Federation.

We wish CMAS- Russia further prosperity and success in all endeavors and good mood!
