What makes it special

Emulating Korea's backbone mountain range, Taebaek Mountains features a grand underwater ridge system extending over an expansive distance. Crests sit near 20 meters while the rocky flanks drop to 30 meters.

Drifting along this monumental ridge offers an exhilarating flight over dramatic underwater peaks, accompanied by cruising pelagics and resident predators.
