Frank is a very competent and direct individual. His do as he says instructions really make an impact on how you observe safety and compliance. No matter how advanced you are as a diver, he will undoubtedly provide you with additional insight. I had an awesome time with him and I recommend him with anyone who is interested in diving. 10 out of 10!

Another great trip with Frank. This is our third time diving for oysters with DWF and it’s always a well organized affair. After a quick boat ride to the dive site, we’re in the water, collecting tasty oysters. Plenty of room on board and a friendly crew with a knowledgeable captain. Highly recommend and look forward to going again next year.

We had an incredible trip! Frank left nothing to chance and the entire experience was perfect. The resort was amazing, and Frank even arranged a private dinner on the beach for our honeymoon. The Volivoli Resort was truly a five star operation; the accommodations, service, and food were great. Ra divers made the entire dive operation run smoothly and we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful coral and tropical fish Fiji is famous for. You're in good hands when you Dive With Frank!

I earned my scuba certification with Frank and couldn't have asked for a better instructor. He's knowledgeable and thoughtful, and his attention to detail made me feel confident and safe in the water. He took care of all the logistics, so I could just focus on learning. He was also really flexible with my schedule, which made it easy to fit training into a busy life. Frank is thorough without ever being boring. He made the whole process fun while making sure I truly understood each skill. He was communicative from start to finish, always quick to respond and clear about what to expect next. If you're looking to get certified, I highly recommend Dive With Frank!

I grew up in and around water, and finally decided it was time to get open water scuba certified to open up new adventures. A simple Internet search led me to Dive With Frank's (DWF) website, and looking through it led me to contact him. Frank was very responsive to emails. As soon as I decided to work with him to get my teenager and I certified, he spent time working with me to get a game plan together and was more than flexible working around our schedule. I appreciated the 1-on-1 confined water sessions we had. He kept a positive, encouraging, and light-hearted approach. At the same time made sure we understood the importance of the required skills, why they were needed, and ensured we could perform them. I believe this is absolutely how it should be: lots of fun but holding his students accountable and ensuring they recognize the importance of what they were learning. Our open water training dives were with a larger group, but we still got the same wonderful approach as our confined water sessions, and with plenty of personal attention. Frank's support staff during these open water dives were wonderful, too. This resulted in us being successfully certified, and already thinking about our next chance to dive. As a parent, I will also say Frank was absolutely wonderful working with my teenager. My teen appreciated being treated more like an adult, and I appreciated how he was very supportive throughout the whole process. In fact, as a Scouting America Merit Badge Counselor, Frank even took some of his own downtime during the weekend of our open water dives to help my teen earn the Scuba Diving Merit Badge (something he did not have to do, but did anyway!) I would absolutely recommend DWF if you are interested in scuba certifications/training. He was awesome (and great working with youth)! Now we are certified, we are hopeful to get to go on one of his dive trips in the future.
