Reviews for Private Scuba Diving Experience in Baltimore, MD

Frank is a very knowledgeable and thorough instructor who teaches in a relaxed non-intimidating manner explaining the more difficult consepts of a course with ease while providing practical exercises to solidify the grasp of the subject.

Had Frank over to the house a couple of weeks ago for a Discover SCUBA for my husband and I. We had such a great time, and Frank was awesome to work with. He was happy to go 2 different speeds - faster for my husband, and slower with me. Frank if fun, patient, friendly, easy to talk to, and a wonderful, easy to follow teacher. We would use his setvice again and recommend him to our friends. Thanks for being such a great birthday present, Frank!

Dude is the best instructor you’re gonna get. You’re paying for a private instructor at the same price as other shops. First of all, when I approached Frank, it wasn’t so much to work with him as to reactivate my previous certifications for an upcoming vacation. He offered a great rate and a flexible schedule that I needed. ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ELSE was an amazing surprise that is gonna keep me working with him well into the future. Frank is super professional yet very relaxed. Great for someone who might be nervous about diving for the first time. Since I had already been certified he recognized when he could be a little more hands off, but also was confident when he stepped in to adjust what I was doing or show me a better way to do it. My time spent with him was used efficiently and I’m completely confident for my upcoming dives in Hawaii. Additionally he has been AMAZING to work with even after taking his class (not all instructors will be). Since taking the class, he’s been open to answering residual questions I’ve had, discussing other courses he offers and their specifics, and INVALUABLE in helping me recreate my dive log with ways to reverify my dives (since I managed to lose my book since my last dives). I can confidently say not only should EVERYONE Dive with Frank, but I ONLY intend to Dive with Frank when I’m home working on certifications.

Our scuba adventure started on vacation. We were in a local dive shop and my son was talking to the staff and it sparked his interest. Upon returning I found Frank and explained my son's interest and that he would like to have his best friend school to join him on his certification journey. I also explained that he was concerned about cold and dark water. With dads in tow we set to work. Frank is WONDERFUL. He is on time, enthusiastic about scuba and great at teaching. I’m really grateful to Frank that he taught the boys everything that can happen and different ways to correct it both in the classroom and in the water. So if it happens again it’s not the first time they have seen it, thought of it and corrected it . After certification, Frank asked me how it went on our side of the equation. I asked him if he has ever seen the movie inside out. With mention of core memories. He was familiar with it, I told him this was a core family memory for me and my son and his best friend/father. I can not thank you enough what what you have done for our family. You are WONDERFUL.

Frank is the best dive instructor I know, hands down. He truly cares about every single one of his students and is incredibly passionate about SCUBA. I know that I can go to him for a realistic view of a site, a class, or an overseas trip. If I need something dive related, I always go with Frank! I’ve been working with him for 8 years now and he’s never once disappointed me. I can’t wait for our next trip together with his DivewithFrank humor! I appreciate him encouraging me as a person and a diver more than I can express in words.

I cannot recommend Dive with Frank highly enough! From start to finish, the entire experience was unforgettable. Frank is not only an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable diver, but also a patient, personable, and fun guide who instantly makes you feel comfortable in the water. Whether you’re brand new to diving or already experienced, Frank has a way of tailoring the dive so you get the most out of it.

We reached out to Frank because our daughter who is 10 is very interested with scuba lessons. It was the best decision. Not only was Frank knowledgable (obviously he is with credentials) but he makes the class fun for my kid!! She enjoyed Mr. Frank's company (with us by the pool) and wants to do it again. We know we'll see him again soon. Thank you Mr. Frank!!

I signed up for SCUBA lessons because my son was interested. I was interested as well. I have back issues and was worried about the weight and strain on my back. I was also worried because my son was under 12 and a few PADI Instructors would not train anyone under 12. I searched online and found Dive With Frank and reached out. He was willing to teach me and my son. My son had issues with fear of water in his mouth and nose. Frank slowed down and moved at my son’s pace. As for me, he helped figure out an entry method that was easy on my back . We Ben decided to do our checkout dives with him. He and his friend Divemaster Anthony made it possible for my son and me to get our Open Water Certifications. I will definitely be back for my Advanced Open Water certification once I have gotten some more dive experience.

I used Frank's PADI Open Water Certification (OWC) class to get my girlfriend scuba qualified. I was already PADI OW certified. Despite being OW qualified for more than 20 years and having completed many dives, I learned a LOT! I would recommend anyone like me that wants to get a family member or friend qualified, to go back through the class with them. It was great to get retrained on diving safety skills. Thanks, Frank!

I had the pleasure of training with Frank Lewis for my PADI Open Water certification, and I can’t recommend him enough. Frank is incredibly detail-oriented and thorough—he made sure every step of the process was clear, from paperwork and photos to skill reviews and certification logistics. His communication was always timely and organized, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. What truly sets Frank apart is his passion for diving. It’s evident in the way he teaches, encourages, and celebrates his students. Even in challenging conditions, he remained upbeat and supportive, helping us push through and succeed. Frank is also patient and kind, never rushing anyone and always making sure we felt safe and confident underwater. If you're looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about your growth as a diver and goes above and beyond to support you, Frank is the one. I’m proud to have earned my fins under his guidance!

Frank is a remarkably knowledgeable and professional diving instructor. He certified me and three of my friends as PADI Dry Suit divers in June 2019. I could not be more pleased with the experience. I trust Frank and his approach so much that he certified my 12-yr old daughter as a PADI Junior Open Water Diver in August 2019. Great with adults and kids, you should learn to #DiveWithFrank.
