I am not available on those dates, but I am interested to know more about this site. I was not aware there was a sunken aircraft dive here in S. Korea.
It is a US military aircraft which crashed as soon as it took off. The site is restricted as it is in SK military controlled waters.
Hey there, are you out of Seoul? I am in Daejeon. This is a US military transport aircraft and in restricted waters, but we have permission from the local AirForce Base.
I am in Daegu. Chat GPT tells me there are no sunken aircraft that are recreational dives sites here in South Korea.

We are working with a ROK sonar company and with the permission of the ROKAF. I am retired US Army, conflict archaeologist and VP of Heroes-Wings. The site is restricted, thus the need for permission from the ROKAF. We are not recreationally diving, rather we are surveying. My daughter just PCSed to Camp Henry, so I am down in Daegu monthly.
Gotcha. I didn't realize this was an actual survey of a downed aircraft. Although you used the word survey I thought perhaps you may not have beeen a native speaker and meant recreationally diving some aircraft that we may have never heard of getting all excited of a new dive site!
Please share what are the requirements (licenses, equipment) for divers to do this, and the details of the dive. I likely dont qualify but I would LOVE to do some unique job like this, and can clear my schedule!
