Pyeongtaek is a city in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, situated near the Yellow Sea coast. It’s primarily a logistic and industrial hub with a growing local scene, but it is not a major coastal diving destination. Nearby dive access exists through short trips to coastal sites along the Yellow Sea, and there’s limited freshwater diving options in the broader region for training or local practice. With one local dive center, divers typically arrange day trips or coursework from that operator, rather than multiday diving-based itineraries.
