"From now until 2020, the rescue vessel Igor Belousov plans to continue developing and perfecting its diving technology to a depth of 450 meters in the marine environment at the Research Institute of Underwater Rescue and Technology of the Naval Academy. This project is a continuation of the achievements made in 2018 by divers-rescue, experts of the Naval Search and Rescue Department, and scientists of the Research Institute of Underwater Rescue and Technology of the Naval Academy. The current deep-diving record is 416 meters," the report stated.
Diving to this depth is a record for the Navy Fleet and a first in the country's history. In 1986, the Soviet Navy dived to a depth of 307 meters from a submarine, the military agency noted.
