Laila Al Habsi
Laila Al-Habsi (born c. 1993) is the first Arab and Omani woman to dive in Baikal.[1][2][3]
Early life
Laila, born in the UAE, is an alumnus of the International School of Choueifat. She pursued her higher education in Moscow at the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, where she specialized in Applied Geology and Russian Interpretation. She currently lives in Oman.[4]
Diving Lake Baikal
As a child, Laila used to regularly visit Ras Al Hadd to snorkel, and growing up she regularly dived within and outside Oman.[5]
The dive took place on the 24th of January 2019, three days after her birthday; she took a flight from Moscow to Irkutsk then a two-hour car ride to the lake. Laila performed a shore dive in a dry suit. Her biggest challenge was regulating her breathing, as her body went into slight shock due to the extreme change in temperature.[6][7][8][9]
