PARANBADA

East Coast, South Korea

Paranbada, on South Korea’s East Coast, is a good pick for divers looking to deepen their PADI certifications, especially if you're eyeing an Instructor Development Course. This is a 5 Star IDC centre, which means they're set up to take you all the way through the professional ranks. We’ve found the diving here offers a different flavour than the tropical usual, with kelp forests and a real chance to spot things like the elusive Korean pipefish. It’s a solid, serious operation for divers focused on advancing their skills in a unique temperate water environment.
