Divers at the Coex Aquarium in Seoul are taking the martial art one step, impressing 
visitors with their graceful technique and apparent comfort at performing in such 
an unusual setting.

The show is running daily and will continue throughout the summer season.
Wonder what they'll come up with next year?
