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!

Just walked past the haenyeo school today and this video popped up on my feed… UA-cam is watching 😮

[@chelseaaamo]

Thanks for the video! I was wondering if the school's still open for one-day experiences right now (for tourists)? Seems super interesting :)

[@deekang6244]

Thank you

[@diverbenothmen9187]

NICE

[@catt138]

Wow, what was the temperature of the sea?

[@VisitJejuGlobal]

This video is from two years ago. Graduation ceremony of Hansupul Haenyeo School usually takes place in late August, so water temperature was probably in the mid-20s celcius. With the help of wet suits, you can easily find Haenyeo in the sea during winter, too.

Is it possible to dive with the Haenyeo ladies?

[@VisitJejuGlobal]

For them, diving is work so it can be hard to dive with them.
There is some Haenyeo experience so you can use it.
