About Nadya<\/h3>\n

Nadya Kulagina is an avid diver and a self-taught photographer. She has been photographing for more than ten years, of which the last three underwater.<\/p>\n

During a trip to Hawaii in 2002, she was inspired by the beauty of the underwater world after a discover scuba dive. It was then that she started dreaming about taking her camera underwater. However, living in Kazakhstan, a landlocked country, and not having any access to the sea, she has had to take a long journey to make her dream come true.<\/p>\n

Nadya has now dived and photographed in Indonesia, Philippines, Cayman Islands, Egypt, Malta, Sri Lanka and Kyrgyzstan. Her images were published in National Geographic, Telegraph News, Vox Populi and other magazines and she has won prizes in international competitions.<\/p>\n
