You Can Dive With the Women Sea Divers of Jeju Island | Unique Experience only found on JEJU

Important note: This video was filmed by Ajumunnie in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 situation on Jeju Island and mandatory mask use.

In today’s episode, we are doing something that is COMPLETELY UNIQUE to Jeju Island. You just can’t find something like this anywhere else in the world.

Why?

BECAUSE NOWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD DO THEY HAVE HAENYEO LIKE THEY DO HERE.

Simple as that. :)

Haenyeo are the women sea divers of Jeju, and their history and cultural relevance is so important, UNESCO inscribed the haenyeo culture on the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Out of a need to survive, Jeju women of the past were forced into the sea to hunt for food. As more and more women joined the community of sea divers, it grew into a culture of its own, creating a unique phenomenon to Jeju Island.

If you’re interested about the Haenyeo, or even if you just want a completely different and unique experience, make sure to check out the video! I’ll show you how you can dive with the famous haenyeos of Jeju!
