The Best Recreational and Technical Scuba Club

We are a scuba diving club located in Connecticut. Our group tends to do a lot of local diving in the North East.

Most of our trips are planned as day trips. We also like to dive weekly at Candlewood Lake or Quassapaug. Join us for some local Connecticut Scuba Diving.

Our Next Meetup August 24th will be our Club meeting at Cafe Little Europa

Just a quick note to help with all boat dives....
very important address seasick issues ahead of time, to late once you are on the boat.

We have several local dive trips planned.
Check our our Dive Schedule

We have more local trips planned: RV Garloo August 8. Canned Air August 14-15, St.Lawrence August 21-22, Stoldt September 18, Atlantic Ocean August and September.
