 About Asaf:

Asaf Elyahu (born in 1981) fell in love with the ocean when he was little, started diving from the age of 16, and never stopping since, he started underwater shooting with a pocket camera only two year ago, fascinated with the new hobby, he upgraded his gear 3 times since then. Never taking a photography lessons, he doesn’t consider himself as a “photographer”, he describes himself as an amateur with nice photos, who enjoy the challenge of capturing the right moment.
