UPDATE (06/26/2026): Owner of Force-E Scuba Centers reached out to me personally and promptly,…read moreissued a full refund, and has told me that one of the employees involved will be disciplined and the other terminated. He seems to genuinely care about his business and his customers and I think that response is completely appropriate given what occurred. Updated my rating from 1 to 5 stars based on his handling of this situation and trust in his word. -------------------------------------------------- Original Rating: 1 star - 06/25/2026 review. I'll be straightforward: there is no way the glowing reviews for this place reflect what's actually happening here. My experience at Force-E Scuba Center on Blue Heron Blvd was the single worst gear rental I've had anywhere in the world; I've rented in Maui, Bali, and plenty of other places in between. I came in the night before renting to check availability. The woman working that evening was friendly, helpful, and told me no reservations were needed and that they do fittings. Great first impression. I came back the next morning ready to go. She wasn't there. A younger staff member assisted us, and from the very first question we asked, he made it obvious that we were an inconvenience. When we asked the difference between a snorkel vest and a life jacket, because we'd never used one, he was visibly irritated. When we asked how to inflate the snorkel vest, he had the same irritated reaction. Any question we had was met with visible disdain, like we were wasting his time for wanting to understand equipment we'd never used prior. When I asked about fittings and mentioned the woman the night before had said they do them, he just said in a visibly upset manner "no." One word. No explanation. The equipment itself was dirty when we received it. There was grime and buildup which we had to wash off ourselves back at the hotel before we could even put it on. And for the price they charge, a defogger isn't included. You pay extra for that. Every other rental shop I've used where they charge similarly to this place has always included it without the need to ask it. Once we got in the water, it got worse. The snorkel vest I was wearing auto-deflated on its own throughout the entire session, forcing me to stop swimming repeatedly just to re-inflate it. The masks leaked. The snorkels functioned for about half the time and then started letting water in despite a proper seal on the mouthpiece; near the end, the airflow was blocked altogether. It wrecked the experience entirely. We returned everything immediately and mentioned the faults when we did. They dismissed it without a second thought. The return itself was its own ordeal. The older man behind the register told me to go wash the equipment outside in a very rude manner; this had never been shared with us. When I went out and cleaned them, he accused me out loud, in front of other customers, that I hadn't washed them. I told him clearly: "I received this equipment dirty, and it's cleaner now than when I got it." He turned red, started making frustrated noises, and just stood there expressing his irritation with body language while I waited silently for him to take the equipment. He eventually told another employee to "just process the return to get him out of here." I shouldn't have had to defend myself for returning rental gear in better condition than I received it. Pro: They're open late. That's genuinely the only positive thing I can say, and even that led me here, so it doesn't count for much. Con: Faulty equipment that ruined a day of snorkeling while on vacation, gear that was dirty from the moment it was handed over, a staff that ranged from dismissive to outright hostile, a defogger that is not included despite how much you already pay, and a return process where a staff member yelled at me in front of other customers for no valid reason. All of it could've been avoided by going literally anywhere else. Tip: Don't come here. Find another shop. The equipment fails, the staff is hostile, and you'll spend your vacation frustrated instead of enjoying the water.

We met friends from Down Under Dive Club in Melbourne, FL (not the other Melbourne), and everything ran smoothly right away. You drop off your gear and they load it for you. When the dives are done, they unload it too. Super easy and completely stress free. Jessica, our dive guide, and Kayla, the deckhand, were outstanding. They were organized, attentive, and made sure everyone was well briefed and comfortable for both drift dives. They also had some great extras during the surface intervals, including cold sodas, water, and fresh watermelon, which was a really nice touch. Kyalami is one of the best charter operations in South Florida. Part of me wants to keep them a secret, but they have absolutely earned the praise. Highly recommend.

Originally, we had booked through Emerald Charters, but they canceled just 12 hours before our flight from CT. This was the second time they canceled a dive on such short notice--the first time in 2023 forced us to cancel our entire trip. We nearly had to do the same this year, but thankfully Calypso stepped in with less than a day's notice and made it happen. I usually get anxious before a dive, but the Calypso team created such a welcoming, professional, and relaxed atmosphere that I felt completely at ease. Instead of stress, I enjoyed every minute of the dive. I couldn't be happier with how it all worked out, and I'm grateful to the Calypso crew for turning what could have been another canceled trip into an incredible birthday memory.

From start to finish, the entire team was outstanding; kind, attentive, and incredibly focused on safety. As someone with severe anxiety about the ocean and sharks, I was initially apprehensive, but the staff went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and secure throughout the adventure. They guided us through the process step by step, patiently checking in on me and the other members of our group while we were in the water. Their extensive knowledge of shark species and what to expect during the snorkeling made a significant difference. I felt reassured knowing I was in capable hands. If you prefer a smaller group setting for your charter experience, Salty Divers is definitely the way to go. They made this an unforgettable outing, and I can't recommend them enough!

Anne was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, taking the time to make sure everyone felt confident and prepared. And Annie brought such a calm, welcoming energy that instantly put everyone at ease. Now the dive itself... unreal. We saw lemon sharks, bull sharks, massive Goliath groupers, and even a tiger shark. It was one of those dives you replay in your head all day because you can't believe how incredible it was. Everything felt safe, organized, and genuinely fun. The crew clearly loves what they do, and it shows in every detail. Hands down, one of the best ways to spend a Tuesday. Can't wait to go back.

She bought the business from her ex-husband on 4/9/25. Since then, the store has gone downhill. She hired kids (which is good) but they are under 18 and cannot fill tanks legally so we left our tanks. When we inquired about hours, we were told they would be opened until 4:00pm but when we drove 45 minutes we found the store closed with no signs on the door. We tried calling but they don't have voice mail set up. She said she gets "thousands of calls" and didn't want to set it up. Employees park in the parking spot reserved for loading/unloading tanks so we had to walk our tanks across the parking lot. We will not be using their shop any longer and I would others to stay away. There are better dive shops in the area.
