Scuba In Korea wishes to announce that the prices for the Busan Aquarium shark dive program have changed. New prices are as follows:

Certified divers: 75,000 won

A 45,000 won deposit (per diver) will be required to make a reservation. You may make a deposit by bank transfer or by PayPal. If you make your deposit by PayPal, it will cost slightly more than 45,000 won to account for exchnage rate fluctuations and PayPal transaction fees.

DIVE NEWS (posted Dec 8, 2008)

Scuba In Korea will continue to run its shark dives throughout the winter. The dives are held indoors (in the Busan Aquarium), so the water temp is the same year-round. Our January dive dates have been announced. You can check them out on our Shark Dive Page.

Scuba In Korea will also provide dive news throughout the winter. Several clubs will be running both dive and non-dive courses (the PADI EFR, for example) this winter. Just because its cold, doesn't mean you can't still dive!

Merry Christmas!

Also note that the USD deposit for the shark dies has been adjusted to $35 USD PER DIVER if you pay by PayPal. Note that this may change at any time to reflect the currently unstable exchange rate. Thank you for your understanding.
