Poland, Gdansk, maritime museum

Gdansk offers a lot to a visitor. The maritime museum on the banks of river Moltava features diving in addition to its other displays. The museum is well worth a visit. The day can be completed with a visit to the Second World War museum, which offers new perspectives on the war.

The Gdansk maritime museum is located on the riverbank of Moltava.
Opposite to the maritime museum there’s a well known landmark. A ferry, Moltava, carries passengers over.
An informative display on effects of diving.
A miniature model of Halleys diving bell.
A hard hat diver wearing a Heinke 12 bolt helmet. We have to point out that the weigth carrying ropes should go through the hooks on the sides of the helmet. This feature stops the helmet from floating off the shoulders – or in worst case – floating off the head.

Diving is a splendid hobby. It caters wonderfull views under the ice on a sunny winter's day and on other days one can venture into exciting submerged mines. Search and recovery diving and historical diving both add to the diversity of the hobby. And abroad there are warm waters and major adventures, although these seldom coincide. I am most proficient in search and recovery diving and in sump diving (a form of cave diving). My dive base is Sukellusjaosto of Turku YMCA,

I am also the editor-in-chief of Luola, the journal of Finnish caving society.
