Divers of EMERCOM Maritime Rescue Service will explore Kaliningrad Bay and waters off Kurshskaya Bar. According to them, such monitoring is needed because of huge number of hazardous underwater objects which are more than 80.

Primarily, those are wrecked WW2 warships. German gun cruiser Dragon, destroyers, ammunition-carrying barges, and even submarines lay on the seabed near Baltiysk. Among them are two Soviet subs scuppered in battle. Detected ships will be entered into regional and all-Russian list of hazardous underwater objects.

"This year we plan to address to Kaliningrad regional authorities with request to establish cooperative program implying searches of potentially dangerous underwater objects. We offer to start from the west – Baltiysk, Mamonovo, Bagrationovsk. All inland waters, rivers, and lakes are also needed to be checked. There must be a plenty of work for us", said Nikolai Sheremet, director of EMERCOM Maritime Rescue Service, Northwest branch.
