Aire Dive

Aire Dive is a PADI Freediving and Mermaid Diving Center based in Seoul, South Korea. With ten PADI instructors on the team, the school specialises in PADI Freediving and PADI Mermaid programs, running everything from beginner levels through to professional instructor training. All courses can be conducted fully in English, following PADI standards with clear explanations of theory, safety procedures, and in-water skills.

Who it suits

The philosophy here is simple: diving should feel calm, safe, and deeply personal. Courses run in small groups or private sessions, which makes Aire Dive a natural fit for people who feel nervous around water, have no prior diving experience, or simply want to build confidence step by step. The English-language teaching also supports international students, expatriates, and travelling divers.

One signature offering is the PADI Discover Mermaid in Seoul, a one-day taster. On-site you'll find a classroom, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, parking, and food and drinks, plus equipment sales, freediving and kids' equipment rental, conservation activities, and a dive club. Instructors teach in both English and Korean.
