January of 2016, 8 degrees below zero, the River Daugava in Latvia, near the hydroelectric power station, 700m from the coast, where ice thickness was 2cm, sunk snowmobile, lifeguards saved the man but snowmobile stayed under water..A week after the accident, the victim referred to my boyfriend Edgar, who is a professional diver and lifeguard and asked for help to bring out the sunken snowmobile. Edgar didn't refuse and, together with his colleague Peter went to help. They only had coordinates taken by drone and guys hoped that reaching the spot where the snowmobile sank, they will see a trace, but as in the video can be seen - nothing suspicious to see, everything was white and plain. Hoping for the good fortune they started to hit the ice unknowingly if they are even close. Edgar dived in and alredy after 2 minutes found the snowmobile about 6 metrs from ice-hole. On the day when they went on an expedition, ice thickness was from 2-7cm, searching for the exact location of snowmobile they broke into the ice more than 10 times each. Current work carried out by a team of experienced lifeguards with professional equipment
