Meet Paul
Over the years Paul has been instrumental in the personal development of so many aspiring instructors, not only in the world of recreational diving but also enabling them to achieve great heights on their next level such as IDC staff, Master Instructor and Technical Diving Instructor levels.
Training with Paul means getting hands-on, personalised guidance from a Course Director who genuinely cares about your growth — not just ticking boxes to get you through an exam. At Alpha Divers, the IDC is built around real learning.
Paul's approach is all about "thinking like an instructor" — building the judgement, adaptability, and confidence to handle real teaching situations, not just the ones covered in a manual. By the time you reach your Instructor Exam, you won't just be prepared to pass — you'll be prepared to teach.
“Thanks to Paul's brilliant teaching methodology, patience and helpfulness, the presentations, briefings and theory and standards tests quickly became natural. Paul not only prepared me for the IE, but as a true mentor, he shaped us into better instructors day by day.”

“The IDC was outstanding from a practical standpoint. The locations and logistics were brilliantly chosen and extremely convenient, whether it was the beach right by the shop, the pool just next door, or the Zenobia wreck for DPV work. Everything was right on the doorstep, which removed unnecessary stress and let us focus fully on the diving.
The training itself was well scheduled and allowed for genuine gradual progression. Skills and confidence improved dramatically over the course of the programme. There was enough time built in for proper repetition and refinement, supported by detailed, constructive feedback from the Course Director. By the end, the improvements felt solid and lasting rather than rushed.”
