NB Divers - East Coast
The team at NB Divers are, without a doubt, our pick for diving the East Coast of South Korea. They’re a PADI 5 Star CDC centre, which means the instruction quality is top-notch, whether you’re learning to blow your first bubbles or gunning for instructor ratings. We love their focus on drysuit diving, making those chillier Korean waters perfectly comfortable year-round. What truly sets them apart is their dedication to the local sites. Forget generic tourist traps; NB Divers knows these reefs intimately. We’ve had dives with them where we felt like we were exploring uncharted territory, spotting things other centres might miss – a particular nudibranch on a specific rock, or the exact gully where the juvenile scorpionfish like to hide. The currents here can be a bit frisky sometimes, especially on the deeper wrecks, but the guides are excellent at briefing you on conditions and keeping everyone safe. Expect visibility to vary with the seasons, but even on a slightly murkier day, the sheer amount of life still puts a grin on your face. Try to schedule your trip for late spring or early autumn; the water is usually calmer, and the light filtering through the kelp forests is just something else.
