Dokdo

Dokdo is a tricky one, and not just because of the currents. It’s a bold choice for a dive trip, a bit of an adventure to get there, and for us, that’s part of the appeal. You’re not just diving; you’re exploring somewhere few divers ever reach. We love the sheer walls here, dropping into the blue. Visibility can be epic on a good day, 20 metres isn't unheard of, and when it is, you’ll see shoals of California yellowtail cruising by. Look close at the rock faces for tiny jewel anemones clinging on, flashes of colour in the otherwise stark volcanic landscape. We’ve spotted giant octopus tucked into crevices, their eyes watching you with unnerving intelligence. The currents can be fierce, making for a challenging drift, but they also bring in the bigger stuff. Our pick for a top experience? Getting swept along a wall while keeping an eye out for a passing dory, then finning into a sheltered eddy to watch beadlet anemones pulse. This isn't a beginner's site; it’s for experienced divers who appreciate raw, untouched marine environments and a bit of an undertaking to get there.
