Dive-site story
Situated along the sheltered coastline of Seopseom Island off Seogwipo, this site features shallow volcanic rock shelves that slope into boulder-strewn sands. Temperate and subtropical ecosystems collide here, with vibrant soft coral fields clinging to rock faces and sheltered crevices harboring macro life. Divers often arrive via local skiff transfers onto the island ledge before descending along the gentle gradient.
Extensive colonies of colorful soft coral fans covering basalt boulders
Macro photography opportunities with diverse nudibranch species and juvenile reef fish
Sheltered topography suitable for training dives and relaxed exploration
