If not, specific dates when groups are coming together from this area? I'll post the information on the korea4expats.com site so that people can sign up or get there on their own.

Yesterday I took out a couple of Canadian guys who are teaching in Jin ju - Jake and Aaron. The weather was nasty. Dress warm. If you are picking up your own gear - the XXL one piece suits (we have been using Safeguard stuff) are likely a good idea so you can bundle up underneath. Rubber boots are now being recycled at the beach so unless you have an abnormally large foot size you will find boots to wear there. The basic gear for cleaning is a suit, cotton gloves, rubber gloves, rubber boots and a mask (recommend 3M masks the 700 won variety are more than adequate). These are all relatively cheap to purchase at an industrial supply store. Anyone wanting to make their way to the beach on their own can take a bus to Taean then find the local bus to Padori and return the same way. If staying over I recommend going back in to Taean (20 or 30 minutes) and grabbing a minbak there. Most businesses at the beach are shutdown but there is a relatively large convenience store open in the village. If you get stuck and need help and school is on contact Mr. Kim the English teacher. Otherwise phone me at 010-6487-3009 and we will take care of you. I have been out to Padori several times in the last week or so.
