There’s always something inexplicably special about abandoned places that ironically turn into interesting attractions. This abandoned Soviet prison is one living testimony to that.

Found in a small Estonian town of Rummu, this abandoned facility has oddly transformed into an exotic beach and dive spot. The strange transformation happened when the underground waters flooded the quarry. Part of the prison that has been submerged underwater makes for a perfect diving spot while the upper facade and nearby powdery shore became a playground for beach bums.

Still curious? Sit back and watch this video.
