Hi there and thanks for the welcome!

Robin - Lake Biakal is a great place to visit and theres a excellent dive operation at the lake that is tec freindly. Diving in the southern end is mostly on tall algae covered walls, but if you get on a boat and head north theres a fresh water seal population (how it got there is an interesting story). The area around the lake is also very senic: rustic woodern villages, snow capped mountains etc.

No diving in Mongolia though a group of us are planning to dive Lake Kvosgol (just to the south of Biakal) in Northern Mongolia later in the year. No idea what to expect other than cold water, great vis and big walls. There is one known wreak in the lake (the mongolian navy lost their boat) and plenty of car wreaks on the bottom that have fallen through the ice during winter - unfortunately most are still occupied. I'm going to investigate the feasibility of raising a few during the trips this year.

Cheers,
Rohan.
