Vladimir Putin dives to bottom of the sea in latest stunt
July 17, 2013
Vladimir Putin dived to the bottom of the Baltic Sea aboard a submersible to explore a ship wreck, the Russian president’s latest in a long line of publicity stunts.
State television pictures showed Mr Putin climbing aboard an underwater research vessel for the half-hour dive to the wreck of a frigate that sank in the Gulf of Finland in 1869.
