Dive-site story
Located just off the coast of Seogwipo on Jeju Island, this uninhabited volcanic islet features dense fields of colorful soft corals anchored to black basalt boulders. Submerged drop-offs and rocky gullies shelter a mix of temperate and subtropical marine species carried north by the Kuroshio Current. Divers typically enter via local fishing boats out of nearby Bomok Port.
Extensive colonies of soft corals and sea fans blanketing volcanic rock formations
Macro photography opportunities among sea anemones and rocky crevices
Dramatic underwater basalt topography with overhangs and swim-through channels
