Russian President, Vladimir Putin, is spending his three days in Crimea with a whole delegation of senior Russian politicians and businessmen.

On Tuesday, Putin, who has a penchant for adventure, went to the Black Sea to see an ancient shipwreck which was recently discovered off the coast of Crimea. Despite this as the official reason, it is believed to be Putin’s way of saying who’s the boss here.

In the video, Putin clambers into a mini submarine and plunges 270 feet into the water.
