The Scuba In Korea website was born in 1999. The idea was to create a site where foreign divers in Korea could find information, in English, on scuba diving in South Korea. The diving in Korea can be quite good, especially around Jeju Island, and we wanted to 'get the word out'. It is sometimes difficult to find English-language information while living in, or visiting, Korea. It is especially difficult for sports that are not yet that popular with Koreans. Scuba In Korea started as a dive information directory and has grown to become an informal dive club as well. We offer ocean dive tours throughout the spring, summer and fall, and we take advantage of the Busan Aquarium shark diving program all year round.

Since there is such a turnover of foreign residents/visitors, the club membership is quite fluid, and very informal. There are no member roles or dues. Just come diving with us once, and you are a member. It's as simple as that. There are some members that have been with us for several years, and we hope that they will be with us for several more. Members include several divemasters and instructors, so we welcome beginner divers and even non-divers as well.

We hope that we are able to steer you in the right direction for your dive needs in Korea. If we can't help, one of the other foreign run dive clubs/shops (Aquatic Frontier, Big Blue 33, Deep Blue Quest, Suwon Scuba) may be able to help you as well.

Take care and dive safe!
