Mercury quarry

The depth of about 51 meters...This water has unusual turquoise color, which attracts those who want to swim we have in the city. The quarry itself to a depth of about 100 meters, nearby there is a dry pit and will never forget how I first came to this abyss immediately fell off the desire to swim in nearby.

Earlier in the 70s, mercury was mined here, Nikitovsky mercury plant is now abandoned, well, the quarry has turned into perhaps the only place for citizens in the summer heat.

How dangerous bathing in this water few people think, especially now that the war is going on, personally I was there for 6 years in a row lost every summer, we were teenagers, hours did not get out of the water and the only thing that came home with red eyes like cancer.

The width of the quarry is also about 50 meters, now I'm surprised how I used to swim in both directions...And no fear, it's easily obtained, even in the distillation swam.

Not so long ago in our city there was a section of divers lovers, they plunged to the bottom and what is not there: transport, sleepers, driftwood...

Here in 2015, foolishly killed a young man. In the morning there was a bombing, but people went to the beach, no one thought that the projectile could fly into the quarry itself, but the irreparable happened. The shell fell into the water and only by chance managed to avoid large casualties, some people just stunned, killed only a man near whom it exploded...
