Connecticut Scuba Academy is an Organizational Member of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences. Our Scientific Diving Program follows AAUS standards and uses the NOAA dive manual. 

The Academy Science diving Program is not a recreational diving course and is intended for individuals seeking knowledge on how to perform underwater research and data collection.

 Would you Like to learn to dive, build new skills, or become a dive industry professional? 

International Training is now offering 18 different VA-approved certifications and professional-level licenses. These programs cover a range of courses, including beginner scuba diving education, technical and public safety diving, freediving, instructor courses, and more. Keep reading to see the full list of programs and learn how you can take advantage of this great opportunity.

 The Academy Public Safety Diving program uses ERDI standards. ERDI trains departments to make and maintain PSD teams. ERDI is the only public safety dive training agency with its own insurance and endorses its own standards. Some of the largest, most successful, and renowned public safety departments use ERDI Programs to conduct training. 

The Academy is not all work and no play!  We also offer recreational scuba programs. In addition, the Academy works with Connecticut River Council's Camp Workcoeman and has run programs through the local YMCA. With schools' uncertainty and remote learning, offering a fun and exciting way to learn is never bad. Luckily recreational scuba meets that challenge with students learning about and practicing the physics & Physiology of diving.

The Academy also sponsors recreational trips and events for the whole family. 

Don't hesitate to contact us about joining one of our programs or bringing a program to your organization.

Citizen science is the voluntary involvement of the public in scientific research. Citizen scientists can help the Academy design experiments, collect data, analyze results, and solve problems. Our work helps professional scientists and resource managers understand parks. Our data help solve real problems and answer real questions.

   The Boy Scouts of America takes aquatic safety VERY seriously - and so do we!  At Connecticut Scuba Academy, we strictly adhere to the BSA Scuba Policy as found in the Guide to Safe Scouting.
