South Korea

Seoul

Seoul is an inland administrative region with limited direct diving access. The nearby water bodies outside the city offer limited recreational diving, while most diving activity is concentrated in coastal areas of South Korea. Within the region, expect urban access, river-adjacent environments, and short, easy trips to nearby coastal centers if divers seek shore dives or boat trips. The primary diving opportunities for Seoul residents lie outside the city in the wider country, including offshore sites along the Yellow Sea and southern coast.
