Marine life = The sea bed where the dive site is located is on an incline or decline, depending on your position. The bottom is filled with giant boulders and several canyons that have a lot of skeletons of sponges. I saw two small eels and many small jelly fish that were shaped like small square pillows; they could have been portugese-man-of-war.
Also noticed a serpent that had a head that resembled a sea horse. It was about 15 inches long. I saw a school of very interesting fish that resembled catfish but with yellow tape-like extensions just above their eyes. The extensions dangled around loosely. There were a handful of what seemed to be giant clams. There were quite a lot of starfish and sea urchins as well.
Other details = Other important details can be found in one of my posts under general info in the Korean Diving Discussion folder. An underwater photographer with KBS showed me the footage he took during one of his night dives at the same dive site I did my dives at. He claimed that he went only 14 meters but the footage was amazing which I thought was taken much deeper. I saw video of multicolored corals that I thought was taken in Jejudo. I also saw footage of several bright blue fish and other colored fish. The scenery in that region was beautiful as seen through the video camera.
