 Russian scientist Natalia Avseenko prepares to get into the water to swim naked with two beluga whales in the White Sea off the coast of northern Russia, June 16, 2011. Scientists believe whales could be friendlier to humans without clothing. Natalia Avseenko, 36, was able to hold her breath and swim underwater for an incredible 11 minutes. The minus one degree Centigrade waters are cold enough to kill a normal person in 15 minutes. Beluga whales generally shy away from conventional scuba divers because they dislike the bubbles they produce. It is thought the synthetic materials used to make wet suits smell bad to them.
