15. THE CHEJU DIVERS Every day of the year, fifty – eight- year – old Kim Kwang Hee goes down to the sea near her home. She puts on her wetsuit and goes into the water. Then she spends four or five hours diving down to the seabed to collect seafood. Kwang Hee dives twenty or thirty times each day. She sometimes dives as deep as 15 metres, and she can stay under the water for up to three minutes. When she has finished diving, she takes her seafood to the market and sells it. Kwang Hee has done this evey day since she was fifteen years old.

16. THE CHEJU DIVERS Kwang Hee is a haenyo. The haenyo are a group of women who dive for seafood off Cheju Island in South Korea. They have been fishing off Cheju for more than 1,500 years. Only women became haenyo because they were better divers than men. They could stay in the water longer, especially in winter when it was cold. Before they had wetsuits, the women only wore a thin cotton dress. While the haenyo dived, the men stayed home to look after the children.

17. THE CHEJU DIVERS Soon there might be no more haenyo. Today, 70 per cent of the haenyo are over the age of sixty. Young women in Cheju don’t want to become haenyo. It is a dangerous job. Many of Kwang Hee’s friends have died. Some drowned, and one was killed by a shark. It is also tough work. Young women want to fine easier jobs in offices where they can earn more money. But for now, Kwang Hee and her friends are happy being haenyo !
