About Temir-Tau Quarry
Temir-Tau Quarry is a high-altitude freshwater quarry lake in the Kuzbass hills, with resort-style access, steep rock walls, a clear basin, and a marked training area near the entry. It is best approached as a quarry dive where the road in, the seasonal temperature swing, and the depth are part of the plan, while the layout still supports training laps, winter ice diving, and relaxed wall exploration.
