The dachshund named Boniface has become the first canine professional scuba diver in the world. The owner of the dog, Sergey Gorbunov who himself is a scuba diver taught his dog the feat. He made diving suit for his dog and also a helmet for the safety. He taught him all the tricks of the diving as the dog barked eagerly to see his master preparing equipments for him. Initially it was seen that when the dog was taken into the water it felt a little discomfort and tried to come out of its helmet. However, later it enjoyed the whole teaching session and was comfortable in its custom made wet suit.

Boniface, once in the water made high pitched protracted sound as it learnt scuba diving from its master. Sergey Gorbunov is a professional diver in the Pacific Coast City of Vladivostok and he said that “Underwater” he did not think that his dog experienced any stress. He also said that Boniface used to be nervous upon witnessing him diving into the water and that had triggered the idea in his mind to teach his dog scuba diving. However, Boniface has taken his first professional dive at the depth of 2 meters and the master hopes that he would teach Boniface for greater professional achievements.
