Frank was patient and fantastic with us for our Dry Suit Class. We left the pool feeling infinitely more confident than when we arrived! Frank made sure to explain everything clearly and demo before we were asked to do it. Frank was easy to communicate with to make arrangements and get everything set up for the PADI course. Thanks Frank!

Recently joined Frank for a Zombie Apocalypse Diver specialty and had a great time! Great instructor who adapted the course to the students easily and made sure it was both educational and fun. Would absolutely take a class with him again in the future. The ZAD class itself is worth it for the opportunity to play with bubble ring guns ALONE!
