About Krapivinskaya hydroelectric power station

An unfinished hydroelectric reservoir on the Tom River in Kemerovo Oblast, Krapivinskaya hydroelectric power station pairs a large basin with a smaller basin divided by a dam. Divers come for submerged concrete, muddy bottoms, and freshwater life around the structure edges. Treat it as a restricted industrial site rather than a casual swim hole, and plan conservatively around limited visibility and damaged works.

Local Intel For Krapivinskaya hydroelectric power station

Community notes to help plan your visit.

Scuba

Use conservative no-penetration scuba and stay in the open bowls. The deeper basin is reported to reach about 30 m, but the safer plan is to work the shallows and keep well clear of damaged concrete and rebar.

Freedive

Only the calm shallow bowl is realistic for freediving, and only with a tight buddy plan. The industrial setting and weak visibility make this an advanced-only choice.

Snorkel

Not a snorkel-first site. Only the calmest shallow water is usable, and even there industrial hazards make it a poor casual snorkel stop.
