The first thing I noticed about them as they approached was their skin. Smooth and pale like expensive stationary. They were wearing wetsuits and a traditional bonnet adorned with symbols. I would find out later that symbols, something similar to a hashtag but with more lines and a star, were amulets to help protect them and bring them home during their dive. The tradition of ama diving has been going on for thousands of years. These women, these mermaids, these indigienous protectors of nature, dive down to the ocean floor on a single breath and collect ingredients, like abalone, sea urchin, sea cucumbers to take back their amagoya and cook over a charcoal grill. I spent a day with them, went on the boat with them as they dove in near freezing waters, cooked with them and ate their food and basked in their kindness and ancient energy.

[Lee Jeung Seop Art Street 2] Was a little surprised, found that Jeju have woman divers too, just like Ise Shima National Park, Japan, where I am involved in an internship now. In Japan we call them Ama divers while in Korea they call them Haenyeo. Actually last year I met some of Haenyeo here in Toba while they visited their "sisters" here. But I didn't know that they came from Jeju Island too. Appreciating woman divers, I loved to have this night candle from the Lee Jeung Seop Art Street. So now before sleeping I enjoyed seeing woman divers in my room 😂. #jeju #jejuisland #southkorea #korea #ama #amadivers #womandivers #sumbiisland #explorejeju #leejeungseopstreet #artstreet #streetpictures #nightcandle #candle #haenyeo #panasoniclumix

"She is clothed in strength and dignity. And she laughs without fear of the future." Proverbs 31:25 One group of women I greatly admire is the Ama Divers of the Shima Prefecture, Japan. Literally translated as women of the sea, they have been free diving for decades in search of abalone and other deep sea finds to sustain their livelihood. As creatures of land unaccustomed to life underwater, the life of the Ama Diver is one laced with danger. Yet, she remains unfazed and nothing stands in her way of preserving her family, culture, and tradition. Read more about her at http://www.akinstories.com/features/amadivers and let us remember this unsung heroine, this International Women's Day. #happyinternationalwomensday #akin #amadivers #lifeunderwater

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to spend the day with the Ama divers in Toba, Japan. That day (that whole trip!) ranks high on my 2019 best memories list. #amadivers #ama #mieprefecture #japan #iseshima #sonya6000 (at Toba, Mie) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6tPTh4BW0m/?igshid=ojt6z8j1x5t8
