"How did this idea, why did you decide to go to the White Sea? From childhood I had a dream to dive with beluga whales. Not with dolphins, namely with beluga whales (these beautiful white whale). They seemed special and very sensitive. For many years I tried to do it, but it did not work. Plus I had a lot of health problems that hindered believe thatit is possible (cost wet feet - and I became aggravated chronic pyelonephritis). It attracted a trip Julia Petrik, which carries five years under the ice group freedivers ... But no ... Cold water, ice, need a fat suit, but asthere to dive down under the water was dark ... Many excuses. Now I realize that this was far from hide and fears that were disguised as a beautiful and confident sayings such as: "Professional freedivers like diving in warm seas without thermocline where the depth is nearshore, where there is good visibility, and currents ... ".And, realizing this one morning, I realized that I should never be put off until later the dream.It is necessary to implement as soon as you feel the urge.Since October last year, I started to bathe in the autumn lake that gradually freezes.The water temperature dropped, while in water increases.Also, I was terribly interesting to see how a "reflex of mammals" in the icy water ... lake froze, had to make a hole in the ice and subglacial master bath.At some point in Moscow, I was joined by my students.Every day dived.Even in the days when Moscow was shrouded in strong frosts ...

And he told me: "Well done!"Victor and I dived into the hole without anything! "- Did not let me ..." Well done, tempers! "- Is responsible Lyagushkin." Victor!I climb to the beluga without a suit !!! "- suddenly uttered, I myself do not believe that it is said ..." I'm going with you! - Immediately replied Lyagushkin.He said that it should be removed as beluga whales are very sensitive and felt naked man next to try to save him.So they work.At this point begins the most interesting - the present Communication between Nature and vulnerable, completely naked man ... To be honest, I confused the phrase "completely naked man", although most of the time it dived into the hole in the buff.First, it was part of the practice of "non-doing", t. E. Doing that to me quite atypical.Secondly, in the cold, getting out of the water, bikini literally freezes the body, it is difficult to remove.Third, the small pieces of synthetic still a bit warm ... It is necessary to overcome natural shyness ... "
