We Need You!
Connecticut Scuba Academy could not exist without the hard work and dedication of our volunteers. All of our volunteers bring a wide range of diverse experiences and passions that make us who we are. The one thing that we all have in common is a passion for our aquatic environment.
If this sounds like you, then we would love for you to join us! Simply download both files below, fill them out, and return them to us.
*Please note that at the Academy, we take our student's safety and well-being seriously. We have several policies to ensure that their experience will be treasured for years to come. All of our volunteers MUST complete Youth Protection Training every two years and MUST submit to a criminal background investigation before working with youth.
