Two young divers earned their fins at Lake Phoenix Nov 15-16th.

Cold water, steady breathing, and a whole lot of courage underwater.
One of the best ways to close out the fall diving season.

The water’s getting cold, but the adventure’s just heating up. 🌊

Not diving today, but I did check something off the list: published my first WordPress Plugin. 🌊

I’ve written plenty for myself, but building one for the wild? That’s a different kind of deep dive.

This weekend I certified my lifelong friend Kenn as a PADI Open Water Diver! 🤿
We’ve known each other since age 9 (now 54) From thermoclines to low viz, he crushed it — and on our fun dive, I watched him transform from student to diver.
Next stop: Fiji 2026! 🌊

Seven new divers certified at Lake Phoenix this weekend! 🤿 They battled rain, chilly thermoclines, and “challenging” viz — and came out as the newest members of the scuba tribe. Huge congratulations to PADI’s latest Open Water Divers! 🌊

There’s something powerful about a diver’s first giant stride. Not just into the pool—but into a new world.

This crew crushed confined water training. Lake Phoenix is next.

Small class, big energy. That’s the Dive With Frank way. 🤿

Now you don’t have to.
