Abstract
The paper examines the results of two hydrological/chemical investigations of a submarine freshwater source in the vicinity of Cape Aiya. The supposition has been confirmed that some typical chemical indices, specifically, silicic acid content, may be used to reveal such sources. The acquired data point out that the freshwater source is steady functioning, which implies that subterranean freshwater reserves in this area are substantial.
