This dive site is Frank’s Underwater Sports Pool, an indoor heated freshwater training facility located in Bethany, Oklahoma. Its primary purpose is to provide a safe and controlled environment for dive education, including beginner certifications, buoyancy courses, skill updates, and specialty training. The pool features a sloping bottom, allowing students to practice skills in both shallow and slightly deeper sections, reaching a maximum depth of 3 meters, making it ideal for practicing neutral buoyancy. There is no natural navigation or historical context beyond its function as a training center.
As an artificial freshwater pool, there is no natural marine life or plant ecosystem present. The environment is sterile and maintained purely for human use in scuba diving training. Divers will not encounter any fish, corals, or other aquatic animals or plants typical of open-water dive sites.
The best time to visit Frank's Underwater Sports Pool is year-round due to its indoor and heated nature, making it ideal regardless of external weather conditions. It is perfect for divers looking to refresh skills, complete certifications, or try scuba for the first time. Freedivers can also use the shallow depths for breath-hold practice in a controlled setting. The pool's consistent conditions ensure a reliable and comfortable training experience.
