 Nevertheless, the lake had witnessed one more experimental research prior to the expedition held by the RAS` scientists: in 1995 a group of amateur divers arrived to Sobolkho in hope to find the key to the conundrum.

Many of the divers were about to face the death: for instance, one of the brave expedition members dived down so deeply, that he was sucked in by an underwater swirl. Later he found himself on the river-bank of Vitim located several hundred metres from the lake.
This shed some light on the mysterious nature of Sobolkho: the lake was admitted through, and the evidence of the underwater channel connecting the lake and the river Vitim could be considered proved.
Three hundred horses and 500 cows have been lost in the lake within the past ten years.
