Gyeongsangnam Do

Gyeongsangnam-do in South Korea offers coastal diving along the southeast coast facing the Korea Strait and nearby offshore banks. The region provides access to sheltered shore dives and boat trips to slightly deeper sites within a temperate to warm temperate sea, with typical visibility often influenced by seasonal currents. Notable dive hubs around Tongyeong and Geoje support a small but steady dive scene, including wrecks, rocky reefs, and marine life typical of the Korea Strait region. Expect a mix of macro photography opportunities and straightforward recreational dives, with surface intervals often enjoyed near coastlines or on local boats.
