South Korean female free divers carry equipment after diving at Pyeongdae-ri, Jeju island, South Korea, 06 December 2015. Female free divers, or "haenyeo" in Korean, hunt for shell fish, abalones, sea urchins, squid, octopus, small snails and seaweed without using any underwater diving equipment. While underwater, haenyeo take with them only goggles, a ball-like tube for keeping balance and a basket to put their catch in. (Photo by Jeon Heon-Kyun/EPA)
