This is not a novelty dive or a themed experience.
It is a real training course built around a fictional scenario.
Dive With Frank teaches the original, fully sanctioned PADI Zombie Apocalypse Diver Distinctive Specialty, designed to challenge divers through immersive, scenario-based training.
The zombies are fake.
The stress is controlled.
The skills are real.
Divers practice buoyancy, navigation, communication, task loading, and problem solving while managing pressure and distractions underwater.
It is weird.
It is fun.
And it consistently produces more confident, capable divers.
