Kronstadt Maritime Museum

The Kronstadt Naval Museum, located on Kotlin Island in the central part of Kronstadt, was opened on May 4, 2012, with the support of the Fertoing company, on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of Russia's diving service. The exposition is dedicated to the first state military diving school in the country, founded on May 5, 1882, by order of Emperor Alexander III. Among the exhibits are a torpedo firing post and an SGP diving suit with an IDA-59 apparatus, and photographs by K. Bulla from 1913 are displayed on the stands. Visitors can take photos with the exhibits, as well as try on military uniforms and real diving equipment.
