My son and I took our Open Water class with Greg Havlusch and we are more then happy with the service we got at the store to select our gear. Our instructor Greg Havlusch was extremely knowledgeable, patient and always ready to answer any questions. He takes his time to make sure you are confident and safe. Thanks Greg

I had an amazing diving experience. Mr. Eric made my lessons interesting and fun. He made sure I was aware of all the safety measures and that I master the necessary skills I needed. Im beyond excited to start my journey as an open water diver and cant wait to be an advance open water diver in the near future. The crew at Force-E Boca were so nice and helpful Thank you!

I did my advanced open water and nitrox this week with Steve Wallenda at Force E Boca. Outstanding. Super knowledgeable and patient. Explained everything we were doing and why. Great sense of humor and made taking the classes fun. I can't recommend him and Force E highly enough. In addition to the classes, I also decided to buy gear. The people at Force E Boca were awesome. They listened to what I was thinking and why. Made comments and suggestions and when I sounded skeptical or they wanted a second opinion, a colleague was immediately there to agree or disagree. I can't say that money wasn't
