2018 Feb 24, Baikal lake, ice diver Oleg Babko (RUS)

[АлександрД]

Дайвер утонул в Листвянке

Сегодня на Байкале, погиб мой друг, мой генеральный директор, хороший человек, прекрасный товарищ Олег Бабко! Вечная память!
Со слов сына (БАДИ):
Ныряли на "рогатке"! Зашли под лёд, заблудились, КОМПАСА НЕТ, долго бродили, у Олега заканчивался воздух, сын предложил поделиться, Олег наотрез отказался!!!, сын вышел, Олег остался, в спарке "0"!

Oleg Babko and his son had dive on the Baikal lake. There was ice fields.
They have NOT lifeline and compass. They lost direction under the ice plates, and looking for exit. His son offer to share his air, but Oleg refused. Son got hypothermia, but alive. Father, Oleg Babko, die. In the his twin tanks was "0".

This is sad, but going while doing something one loves is the only way to go.....my condolences to the family.

Dying with your son or watching your father die while you look for a little hole in the ice is a long way from doing something you love.

If I would have killed my son by doing something as stupid as diving under ice with no lifeline back to the entrance, they would have found 2 bodies instead of only one because living with myself would be an impossibility.

This I cannot imagine.
