Perhaps this is why Van Yüzüncü Yil University academics were so eager to investigate Lake Van’s waters. The tales that there were some incredible mysteries hidden beneath the waves were certainly worth investigating. As a result, a crew of divers was gathered and put to work right away.
Tahsin Ceylan, a photojournalist and film producer, was in charge of this group of aquatic explorers. Divers Cumali Birol and Murat Kulakaç, as well as Mustafa Akkuş, an academic from Van Yüzüncü Yl University’s fishery faculty, accompanied him. And they were set to find something incredible as a team.
