They Scour the Ocean Floor without a Breathing Aid On the southern islands of South Korea, there are communities of brave women who free dive 10 meters, sometimes 20 meters under the sea without the help of oxygen masks. The majority of these female free divers reside on Jeju Island. They harvest prized marine delicacies such as sea cucumber, abalone and sea mustard. These intrepid women are the haenyeo (women divers) and they engage in this centuries-old marine harvesting tradition only found in Korea and Japan. Korea s haenyeo are less known than Japan s ama in the world today. But a long time ago, the haenyeo taught their skills to the ama.
