About Cape Nyanskotch
Cape Nyanskotch is a boat-accessed wall dive on Lake Teletskoye, where the cape itself acts as the landmark and the underwater profile runs along a long, scenic freshwater wall. The site is for experienced divers who want a deep north-Altai wall rather than a casual sightseeing stop, but it is still more approachable than a reserve-controlled entry because no special permit is required. Freshwater fish and the occasional beaver sighting give the site a strong inland character.
