MIKHAIL LERMONTOV 25th ANNIVERSARY
It’s 10.30pm on the clock in the 1st officers cabin, February the 16th 1986 and the Lermontov has just hit bottom at 37 metres in Port Gore. What was to become one of the countries great maritime mystery’s has now become one of the worlds best wreck dives.
25 years later the Lermontov is largely still intact with most of her fittings still in place, including her huge propellers and anchor. Diving the Lermontov is a fantastic experience not to be missed.
