South Korea

Seogwipo

Seogwipo sits on Jeju Island in South Korea and serves as a gateway to Jeju's coastal diving options. While the town itself isn’t a major dive hub, it provides access to nearby saltwater sites around Jeju Island, including reefs and walls reachable by organized boat trips from local dive centers. Expect temperate waters, seasonal visibility that 개선 varies with currents, and marine life typical of temperate to subtropical island waters. The area is better known for coastal scenery and volcanic landscapes, with diving opportunities primarily offered by nearby centers rather than within the city proper.
