00:00:11,878 --> 00:00:14,938
Jeju Island is known for its
beauty...

2
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:16,983
its volcanoes...

3
00:00:17,050 --> 00:00:19,814
and its legendary women divers --

4
00:00:19,886 --> 00:00:22,320
the Haenyos.

5
00:00:26,126 --> 00:00:29,289
For centuries, these women have
made their living

6
00:00:29,362 --> 00:00:31,694
from deep within the sea.

7
00:00:34,567 --> 00:00:36,797
Free diving in the cold waters,

8
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:40,863
they catch seafood that's fed this
island for generations.

9
00:00:52,685 --> 00:00:56,849
But these are the last of Jeju's
women divers.

10
00:00:56,923 --> 00:01:01,326
For this tiny Korean island is
facing a change.

11
00:01:01,394 --> 00:01:06,627
Tour guide Sunny Hong is part of
a new generation of Jeju women.

12
00:01:06,699 --> 00:01:09,759
Her life doesn't depend on diving
for seafood...

13
00:01:09,836 --> 00:01:11,827
but on entertaining tourists.

14
00:01:11,905 --> 00:01:16,103
I wanted to find some kind of job

15
00:01:16,176 --> 00:01:19,703
which I can use my English

16
00:01:19,779 --> 00:01:23,237
and also this kind of job

17
00:01:23,316 --> 00:01:26,547
is fit to my aptitude.

18
00:01:26,619 --> 00:01:28,780
Sunny has taught herself
English,

19
00:01:28,855 --> 00:01:33,417
a skill that has made her
successful on land.

20
00:01:33,493 --> 00:01:37,896
But her family has a strong
connection to the sea.

21
00:01:37,964 --> 00:01:41,764
This is my aunt, Ms. Hong.

22
00:01:41,835 --> 00:01:48,365
She's 63 years old

23
00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:51,877
and she started diving when she
was just 13

24
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:54,436
so almost 50 years now.

25
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:59,850
Hong Ho and her friends have
been diving for nearly all of their
lives.

26
00:01:59,919 --> 00:02:01,648
They didn't have a choice...

27
00:02:01,721 --> 00:02:08,058
and also they were born in a sea
village

28
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:11,620
so they had to be a woman diver

29
00:02:11,698 --> 00:02:16,795
and there's nothing they can do
except woman diver.

30
00:02:16,870 --> 00:02:20,806
In fact, diving is the most
dangerous job on Jeju,

31
00:02:20,874 --> 00:02:23,809
and it's only done by women.

32
00:02:23,877 --> 00:02:27,108
The women dive 5 to 6 hours
every day.

33
00:02:29,616 --> 00:02:33,245
Today, the youngest diver is 45
years old,

34
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:35,810
the oldest is 75.

35
00:02:38,825 --> 00:02:42,386
60-year-old Song Ho has had a
good day.

36
00:02:42,462 --> 00:02:45,397
She shows what she has caught
today.

37
00:02:45,465 --> 00:02:49,424
Diving used to be the only way
for people to make a living .

38
00:02:49,502 --> 00:02:54,064
Now it gives divers a chance to
educate their children for a better life.

39
00:02:54,140 --> 00:02:57,405
I don't want to be a woman
diver...

40
00:02:57,477 --> 00:03:00,935
I think I am lucky, I am lucky.

41
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:08,954
As a result, this ancient tradition
may be dying out.

42
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:11,547
These women are the last of the
Haenyos --

43
00:03:11,624 --> 00:03:14,923
the legendary divers of Jeju
Island.
