Some words from Jean Michel:
I fall in love with the sea the very first time i glanced upon it. Since then, i have a passion for this other world. The earth is 70% covered by oceans, and travelling without diving is like watching only half the scenery. I will guide you through this amazing new world. A universe of silence where you float effortlessly watching a colorful life painting exists.
Let’s go diving !
On the other hand, if you are interested in changing your life I can teach you how to become a suscesfull Divemaster, and get the most of your internship in Alvaro Diving acording to PADI standards. Go pro and live in a tropical island.
Both worlds are important to keep balance in my professional life. Share my knowledge and skills with those who plan to become dive professionals, and keep the beginner amazed with the underwater world.
Né à Marseille, la mer à toujours été pour moi une compagne de découvertes, d’émerveillement constant, mais à aussi et surtout sucité un grand respect chez moi.
Que vous souhaitiez découvrir la plongée au cours d’un baptème ou changer de vie et devenir professionel PADI, je saurais vous fournir un enseignement personalisé, avec le serieux et la rigueur necessaires à la pratique de la plongée, sans négliger pour autant le plaisir, de franches rigolades, et un bon lot d’anecdotes sur les îles tropicales.
Pas de bateau avec 50 plongeurs ici, ni de départ à cinq heures du matin pour les sites. Vous êtes en vacances, je ne l’oublie pas !!

Some words from Alex:
I’m constantly told by students and divers I meet that SCUBA diving is one of the most amazing experiences of their lives. Learning to dive can be fun, relaxing and exciting all at once and if taught properly it can open up a whole new world of places to see, skills to acquire, and experiences to share. Every person is different and that makes teaching a continually challenging experience, which never becomes boring. Every course I teach is tailored to suit the individual students and I strongly believe in teaching to the best of their needs and abilities, rather than just the minimum standards. At Alvaro Diving we will aim to make your diving experience the best it can possibly be.
