Diving in Lake Pinku, September 23. When planning the diving of Pinku (Pinķi by place) lake, it must be taken into account that the lake is a protected nature park and is a specially protected nature territory in Ēdole parish of Kuldīga region. The average depth of Lake Pinki is 5.0 meters, but the maximum depth is 20.0 meters, which we also reached in our expedition. Lake Pinku is home to various fish, such as bream, stonecrop, perch, crucian carp, pike, tench, roach, as well as redfish and eels.
Thanks to the initiative of the active diver Uģis, it was decided to look at Lake Pinku, study the diving conditions and find the deepest place, which is located at a depth of 20.0 meters. Uģis called the guest house, which is next to the source to Kauliņa, and received permission to park cars in the territory of the guest house.
The members of our diving group are active divers, and a good company came together that wanted to dive into the depths of Lake Pinku.
