Really bad value per price experience - Marado Submarine


 I would rather watch 5 movies instead of taking the submarine. Long ago, I don't know how it was but now? It was not that good... They have to take some measures, extending submarine hours or something like that.

 At first, I was excited...



 I was very surprised... when I found this... What? Taking on a submarine here? I really didn't expect to see this kind of opportunity... Wow!!! And I found the price was a little a burden to me, 55,000 won(about 40 USD). Damn!!!


 But later I was disappointed...


Location





 This experience program is introduced as a main attraction in Jeju on the official web site and also several commercial web sites. Because it's a good chance to see the under the sea around Jeju which were quite good as far as I knew... And to see under the water, you may choose scuba diving, but it was more expensive than this one... But still to me, 55,000 won is expensive...



 Before getting into a submarine, you are going to move by a boat to a point where submarine ankered. If it includes the tour on the island, Marado, the price is really good, enough... but it wasn't... I couldn't put my feet on the island.


 





 This program went on for quite a long time... more than 10 years, I guess. Recently tourists from China decreased drastically due to the tension between Korea and China on the matter of the SAAD system to be installed in Korean land. The price has been increased much recently but I expect it to decrease... or they make more interesting programs... which is the way they can make more profit...

 Let's go


 : It took about 20 to 30 minutes to get to the submarine point by boat... And to me travelling on a boat was much better than the submarine...  








 : After arriving, you are going to be escourted into the entrance seen in the above pictures. Guests are getting onboard, divers were preparing...


 And after getting into submarine, I started to be disappointed. First, the blurred view through the window was the most disappointing one... And even the window was not clear. In my guess, I could see only about 2 ~ 3m from the window... After that so blurred, I couldn't recognize what's there... 


Another thing is that I can see only two side... not 360 degree... 









 And the fishes also were leaded by food scattered by scuba divers... Without that, almost no fish.... No fish!!! And the Corals? Just 1 or 2 I saw there... And nothing... Yes, probably kids like it.


 And the ray fish... so poor. Definitely animal lovers hate it. It is used that way.... doesn't look good at all. 


 I haven't feel anything of the submarine... Did I take on the submarine? No it's just another aquarium... so limited aquarium... I rather visit aquarium than this... even cheaper price...


 Long ago, it would be really good.. But nowadays, the pollution done by human and development must be the reasons behind this.
