The haenyeo (해녀, literally sea woman) are famous for their ability to dive without gear for long periods. This heritage dates back hundreds of years, but it’s a dying tradition. The remaining haenyeo are well into old age, and they have to rely on tourists (the majority of whom are Koreans from the mainland) in order to survive.
