Lake Vättern in Sweden 1986, a very long lake in the south part of Sweden. Filmed with one of earlier Beta Movie video cameras in an acrylic home made case. The diving equipment is the AGA type bottles and full woollen suits had to be worn under the dive suite to keep the cold out. It is very cold, even in summer it’s only +10 deg C at 10m depths. We caught one sluggish fish with our bare hands and found some very old pieces of timber, which were completely turned black. This is rests of old log houses thousand years ago, when the north of the long lake was raised and south part sunk and many houses got flooded.
