What makes it special

Named after the iconic Daegwallyeong mountain pass, this site presents majestic underwater ridges rising from 20 meters up to 10 meters below the surface. The cascading rocks and valleys evoke the feeling of hiking an alpine ridge submerged in the East Sea.

Large greenlings and sebastes territorial fish patrol the crevices, and navigating over the peaks offers an exhilarating sense of underwater flight across dramatic topography.

Dive guide

  • Monitor depth variations closely as you travel over ridges and through gullies.
  • Utilize the lee side of the rock formations to rest when encountering currents.
  • Maintain good horizontal trim to protect delicate marine growth on rock walls.
