Dive-site story
Located off Cheongjin Port in Pohang along the East Sea, this site consists of modular concrete artificial reefs arranged across a sandy sea floor. The structured clusters of cross-shaped and square concrete blocks create vertical relief that concentrates regional temperate fish and encrusting marine life.
Cross-shaped and cube-shaped artificial reef modules hosting dense sea anemones
Schools of temperate rockfish hovering inside and above the concrete framework
Excellent macro photography opportunities on the colonized structural walls
