Noam Kortler

Noam moved to Eilat in the red sea 13 years ago to work as a diving instructor. He opened his own dive center in 2004 and named it "Nemo Divers". Noam started taking photos underwater in 1999 for the first time with Nikonos V with no knowledge of photography what so ever and slowly taught himself "how to do it right". In 2006, he obtained his first Digital camera (Nikon D2X) and Housing (Seacam). Since then he started to take photography more seriously and wine competitions around the world. Today, he still teaches diving at Nemo Divers and teaching underwater photography for beginners and professionals .
