Russian enthusiasts celebrate Christmas on the bottom of the local swimming pool by putting a Christmas tree on the pool floor and drinking champagne underwater.
ORENBURG, RUSSIA (DECEMBER 25, 2012) (RURTR) - Russian divers from the city of Orenburg in the middle of the steppe thousands of kilometres from the nearest sea were so determined to practice their skills that they decided to celebrate Christmas in a local swimming pool.
They donned their diving gear and lowered everything they needed for a merry Christmas to the bottom of the pool.There was a nicely decorated Christmas tree, some food, Christmas hats and even champagne.
To drink champagne underwater requires some skill, but that did not deter Russians from drinking straight from the bottle while kneeling on the tiled floor of the pool.
