Noam is a responsible and interesting diving guide, he took me to some beatiful diving spots where we enjoyed a lot with Satil wreck, dolphins and many different and colorfull fishes. He dedicated his time to make me enjoy every minute of diving. I strongly recommend Nemo Divers, many thanks Noam!

I’ve decided with my daughter to do AOWD course run by Noam Kortler. With my full trust I rate this course as excellent. We did 5 dives as part of the course and additional 2 fun dives. Noam equipped us with modern stuff and conducted a course very professionally. Before every dive he did a comprehensive briefing to avoid a misunderstanding underwater. The Master Instructor is very experienced - he dives for over 26 years and did over 10 000 dives!!! However he willingly shared his knowledge with us and was answering to all our questions. All the time we felt safe and comfortable.
Eilat offers excellent diving spots where we could see interesting wrecks and rich underwater life including dolphins and of course - incredible reef.
I highly recommend, especially with Noam.

Hey there.
I usually look for divecenters with a good vibe, good gear, and, most importantly, good and *relaxed* divemasters.
Eilat is the go-to place for me, as it meets my base requirements for recreational diving: easy diving conditions - often beach-diving, world class fauna / underwater scenery / Coral, choice of deep *and* shallow dives, english-speaking crew, professional staff, and preferable, in less than 5-hours plane trip.
I dived with Nemo Diving (Noam, to be precise) very recently. Of course, the base requirements were met... but this time, they were exceeded... and beyond !
Noam is a warm human being. He knows the local environment like his pocket, he was able to provide a unforgettable diving experience.
His centre is NOT a factory where you feel like a time-pressured sardine (what we may unfortunately see from time to time). Noam takes the time to make his customers comfortable. He was there with a big smile from moment one.
Another big plus of this specific centre, is that it is two steps near a beach-side "chill-out" little bar (reminiscent of old sinaï style) where you can have a drink and a delicious plate of shakshuka after diving, if you wanna chill out. After the dive, we did chilled out with Noam, and had a nice discussion about everything, nothing... and diving, of course !
Little did I knew that I had dived with the four time laureate of the most prestigious underwater photography prize on the planet. Little did I knew that Noam is not only a PADI dive *director*, but the planner of one of the most fantastic diving trips the "scuba diving planet" has to offer... National Geographics level.
So, fellow divers. Do yourself a favor. Try his dive center once. You will probably never leave it again.
Me ? I have (at last) the go-to centre when planning to go to Eilat. It took time to find him (because it is a small centre, less "visible" than the large ones).
And so will you.
To be very objective, I have one regret... I forgot to log my dive !!! But it is logged in my brain forever. That's what counts for us, doesn't it ?
Dive safe.
Marc.

I haven't dived for 8 years, after my second pregnancy and I am so glad I met just the right person to make me fall in love again with diving in general and in Eilat bay. We had the most uplifting time. Noam is not only a great instructor, A+ service provider but also a wonderful person. I have dived in the same locations many times before but never enjoyed it as much.

We recommend this diving instructor for anyone who wants to have an unbelievable experience diving! It is so beautiful and so interesting and the diver picks you up from your hotel, gives you a short lesson, and then takes you to see beautiful corals. We also purchased the underwater pictures which make it so much better! He speaks perfect English to so for any international travelers- We definitely recommend it!

I had wonderful private beach dives with Nemo Divers in Eilat, Israel with Noam as divemaster and guide. I would highly recommend this experience. Noam was extremely professional in making sure all safety protocols were followed, as well as being an attentive and observant dive guide. He made sure to review the dive profiles beforehand, and during the dives pointed out interesting undersea wildlife and behaviors. All dive equipment was suppled and was first-rate. The dive shop/area from where some of the beach dives take place is well-equipped and comfortable. Finally, Noam himself is calm, helpful and knowledgeable. One of Noam's best traits is how communicative (in my case, via long-distance email) and responsive he is. That is very helpful when trying to made dive arrangements. He also personally picked me up from and returned me to my cruise ship. Five-plus stars -- highly recommend.

My friend and I decided to get our scuba diver certificate in Eilat and chose to go with Nemo Divers. Noam was an exceptional instructor who made sure we knew what we needed to know before we hit the water. He would clearly explain what we were going to do before we went under to make sure there was no confusion. He was very patient and helped us through the dives. Noam would point out different areas that we needed to improve, which would help us do even better the next time. Not only did he make sure that we did great in the water, but he made sure that we knew how to properly take care of the equipment we used, ensuring that it would stay in better condition longer. I can't imagine having a better learning experience except for with Noam and Nemo Divers.

Myself and four children recently did seven dives with Noam.
Before arriving Noam and I had extensive conversations about diving with my four newly certified children. Every question I had was answered in detail and no stone was left unturned. I could not have felt more comfortable about the choice we were making.
When we met Noam prior to our first dive we were totally impressed. Noam fitted each of us with modern equipment, and made sure everyone was sized properly and comfortable with the operation of each and every piece of their gear. Noam definitely made safety a priority.
After reviewing some skills during our first dive he switched from instructor to guide and showed us a great time. We told Noam the things that interested us and he picked the best dive sites to satisfies those desires. Noam even assisted with a new underwater camera we brought and took some wonderful photos for us.
We were able to see incredible corals, caves, ship wrecks, exotic fish, sting rays and dolphins. We could not have asked for more. Noam took my children on their first night dive and made them feel completely comfortable.
Noam even showed us some of the best local food in Eilat and joined us for lunch.
Finally, Noam has incredible patience and never expressed frustration in working with my four children. He was serious when necessary and all about fun when the time was right.
I will be certain to dive with Noam on our next trip to Eilat, and highly recommend that anyone planning to dive there contact Noam at Nemo Divers

Hi Noam, how are you? I am Sheila from Brasil and I am going to Eilat at the beginning of April. I would love to receive info about dives with you at this time. I have 2-3 days for diving, and I am bringing NO equipment at all from Brasil. Also, I read that maybe Aqaba would be a better option, please can you tell me about it? Thank you so much.
