It seems less likely that he would waste time and resources trying to create a Zed that can breath underwater than it would he spend time creating something that can move with speed and agility, clear distances efficiently, and use sheer size to wreak havoc.
The move to venture out into the ocean simply doesn't make sense. From what Kalani said, the same thing was happening in Hawaii (which we know to be true, based on his journal). Consider that groups farther out of town had not seen any of these 'new' zombies.
My own personal theory is Mr Pinstripes was part of a government experiment. History is full of it and not just Dr Josef Mengele but actual detailed history of the poor, indigent, insane (mr stripes) women etc being used as lab rats. I do not think that all the funky new types are Ink's doing. I think the small one are his. But the others were done by someone or someones else.
