Diving for Delicacies
Just off the coast of the island of Jeju,
South Korea, divers known as Haenyeo,
or ‘Sea Women,’ take to the ocean each
day to fish. Often working shifts that
can span more than 45 hours, the
Haenyeo scour seabeds for Abalone —
a highly lucrative type of sea snail that
is viewed as a luxury item among
seafood enthusiasts.
