The Haenyeo community on Jeju Island consists of elderly female free-divers who dive up to 10 meters without modern equipment. Known as the '90-year-old mermaids,' they continue this tradition despite their age. Their culture is declining but received UNESCO recognition in 2016, which has boosted tourism and provided support.
