Dive-site story
Munseom, situated just off the southern coast of Seogwipo on Jeju Island, is celebrated for dense soft coral gardens clinging to vertical volcanic walls. The Kuroshio Current sweeps warm waters into the area during late summer and autumn, sustaining a mix of temperate and subtropical fauna. Divers typically descend along dramatic sheer drop-offs punctuated by boulders, gullies, and overhangs.
Extensive walls covered in colorful soft corals and branching sea fans
Dynamic volcanic seascape featuring rocky crevices and drop-offs
Rich blend of temperate reef dwellers and wandering subtropical pelagics
