We at Expat Divers in Korea are planning our 2026 dive season with a focus on safety, preparation, and optimal conditions.

In Korea, ocean diving is best from August through September. To ensure our divers are fully prepared, we begin Open Water courses in June and July, completing the academic components and pool training in advance.

Final ocean dives are scheduled for late August and September, allowing students to certify in the most favorable conditions.

We look forward to guiding you through a structured and rewarding diving experience.

This is Chris. He is a hardcore diver. When he isn't diving, he enjoys grilling steaks and flying helicopters. He dives drysuit, and I have actually witnessed him pull a full flood maneuver. I always feel safer when Chris dives with us.
