Nautilusdive Jeju

Nautilusdive Jeju is a professional dive centre situated in Seogwipo, the heart of South Korea's diving activity. The centre is specifically geared towards exploring the underwater topography of Beomseom, a protected Natural Monument known for its unique volcanic structures.

Operating with its own fleet of private boats, the centre provides direct access to the area's most significant reefs. Whether you are looking to begin your training or explore deeper volcanic walls, the setup is designed for efficient, reliable boat diving.

The centre is led by a Master Instructor and is affiliated with RAID, SSI, and PSAI. This breadth of affiliation ensures that training standards are met across various international certification requirements.

Instruction is highly personalised, maintaining a strict 1:1 ratio of instructor to diver. This approach is particularly beneficial for non-swimmers or those completing their first certifications, ensuring a calm and controlled environment underwater.

The team is multilingual, providing instruction and support in Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese to accommodate an international diving community.

The centre offers a full range of training through RAID, SSI, and PSAI affiliations. Beginners can start with the Junior Open Water Diver or the standard Open Water Diver courses.

For those looking to expand their skills beyond the basics, the centre also provides Skin Diving training, with all necessary equipment included in the programme.

The centre operates its own private diving boats, ensuring that your schedule is not dictated by third-party operators. These vessels allow for direct and efficient transit to the diving sites.

To enhance the experience on the water, the centre includes complimentary photos and videos for your dives, allowing you to document your underwater encounters.

For those opting for a full kit hire, the centre provides a complete set including a wetsuit, mask, snorkel, BCD, regulator, and fins. This allows you to travel light and focus entirely on the diving.

On-site facilities are well-equipped for post-dive comfort, featuring showers, towels, hairdryers, shampoo, and shower gel for all divers.

The volcanic walls of Beomseom are draped in vibrant soft corals, including species such as Scleronephthya gracillimum and Dendronephthya gigantea. These gardens create a lush backdrop for the various species that inhabit the reef.

You will regularly encounter Damselfish (Chromis) navigating the coral structures, alongside various species of sea anemones and jellyfish.

Sea turtles can also be spotted in these waters, adding a significant presence to the local marine life.

Diving in the area is subject to moderate currents that vary depending on the specific dive site and the state of the tide. The seasonal window for optimal diving is between September and November.

Water temperatures in the region typically range from 13°C to 27°C.
