Solved: Korea Sub-Forum

[joshua.d.vise]

Hi all,
I was hoping to get a special dedicated sub-forum made for scuba diving in South Korea. This is because the small dive community here would really benefit from having one source of reliable information, and a good place to connect to other divers. South Korea also has a long history of traditional diving, with the "Dive Women" (해녀) attracting lots of tourists as they collect shellfish.

Does anyone know how to start this kind of forum in the "Regions" section of the community? I'd appreciate any help or advice.

I would love to learn more about diving in Korea, and would therefore like to add my vote to the list.

I would like to see a Korea page as well. Joshua and I are local divers that have been trying to put together a resource where we can share our experiences diving in Korea. I’m also all for this!

I would suppose so. Even if we could get information about North Korea, most of us wouldn't be allowed to dive there. Still, if you find something cool from there, post it!

@hhjames you've indicated an interest in Korea in the past, would you consider adding your name to the list of divers interested in a Korean subforum?

I’m always interested in learning about other areas and what the diving is like, so count me in!

So perhaps the new forum's title should just be "South Korea"?

I've got no issue with "Korean Diving". I'm just happy at the prospect of learning and sharing more about diving opportunities here. One issue that I've experienced is that I could only dive on vacations, so I would only go once or twice a year. A dedicated page would allow me to continue my training and skip refresher courses when I do go to other places.

Thank you everyone for being so active and vocal on this thread. It is a testament to the strength of our interest in this sport and our desire to see it expand and improve!

We're almost there... how many "local" to Korea divers can we muster?
