S. Korean magazine features scuba diving in the Marianas
South Korea’s An An Magazine recently conducted a photo shoot on Saipan for a special feature in their September 2005 issue. The magazine, which is read by 60,000 women, age 20-30, will feature one of South Korea’s popular young stars, Bae Doo Na.
Ms. Bae was able to receive the ultimate scuba diving experience during the three-day visit on Saipan. Aside from the scuba diving feature, various tourist sites and beaches on Saipan will also be acknowledged.
