vertical walls and soft coral of an uninhabited island
An uninhabited island made up of the main island and an islet (Je-2 Mundo). Soft-coral colonies spread along the volcanic-rock walls, and a wreck rests at Hangaechang off the islet. As the current strengthens with the tide, it offers the appeal of both terrain and current diving.
