Don is great. We're so glad we chose Ski & Scuba for our recent Dive certification training. Highly recommend!

My 11 year old daughter and I took our Open Water Certification course with Don. He was professional, patient and organized. Don made what would otherwise have been a painstaking process both fun and informative. We'll be sure to use him and Ski & Scuba for additional certifications. read more

We highly recommend Ski & Scuba Connection. We worked with Don more than 15 years ago and then again this month for Scuba certification and it was such a pleasure both times! Don is professional, extremely knowledgeable and kind. My kids, husband and I all had a fantastic experience. And his shop is wonderful and is stocked with everything you could possibly need. read more

I was so glad I did my PADI certification through Ski & Scuba Connection! Don was a fantastic teacher, very accommodating and encouraging. definitely the most flexible and reasonable option I found in the region! Would highly recommend his services & products!! read more

I highly recommend doing your PADI certification with Don. He was a great teacher and a very knowledgeable and experienced diver. He went through all the skills and kept me engaged the whole time. It was the perfect mix of fun and learning - the best experience! read more

I was a complete failure in my first 2 attempts to get certified and totally panic stricken to remove my mask underwater, but I wanted to try once again to surprise my son who got certified at 10 years old with Don and was graduating from college in June. I so wanted to go on a mother son scuba trip with him as a graduation gift. Don took me on and couldn't have been more patient and kind. I am sure I was the hardest student he had ever had, but he never showed it. He only showed me kindness, patience and understanding. I now can easily take off my mask, replace it and clear without panic or fear. That is ALL thanks to Don! I couldn't ask for a better teacher anywhere! Thanks Don for helping me through this and giving me the confidence that I can succeed! read more

Love this place -this is my new dive shop. I called them about getting my equipment serviced and received two phone calls back from each of the owners. Their shop is small but it is jammed packed with all the cool stuff and all the new toys. I was like a kid in a candy store. They were friendly and introduced me to some other local divers that were in the store. Great couple - Great Store!! read more

I recently completed my Open Water Certification using Ski & Scuba and would recommend using them. Don was my instructor. He was knowledgeable, helpful and always tried to maintain a good sense of humor. It is not an easy job to keep a class like this moving along as some people naturally move faster than others. But I think Don did a commendable job balancing this and making sure everyone had fun. Most importantly, I feel thoroughly prepared for my upcoming scuba vacation. read more

I completed my Open Water classes with Don and staff at the YWCA last year. And even though I've since been on two diving trips, I miss my Wednesday night class and practicing in the Y pool. It was an interesting and fun class with humor and lots of patience.One of the best choices I've made was choosing The Ski & Scuba Connection. I felt very confident after training with them and fell in LOVE with diving. I purchased some equipment through the store and as I build my dive gear, will continue to shop there for the personable service received whenever I enter the store. Jody is super helpful! My best to Don and Jody and the great people that help with the pool training! read more

I just wanted to take a minute to share the overwhelmingly positive experience I had with the ski and scuba connection! I was in need of new diving gear. I was tired of renting. After watching people clean their regulators in the same water as their wetsuits, I had enough. I knew their were many online retailers but you loose that personal touch when you shop online. You also lose the opportunity to try on gear and ask as many questions as you want to someone with experience. I am so glad I walked through the doors of Ski and Scuba Connection. Jody welcomed me with open arms and helped me through each step. I arrived close to closing time but Jody said she would stay as long as we needed. We took our time and tried a few combinations of BCDs. I really liked the custom fit of their Zeagle BCDs. I would normally purchase a size large but with Zeagle, the components are interchangeable. After we found the right BCD, we moved onto the First and Second Stage regulators. They have a variety of brands and options in stock. I asked a lot of questions and appreciated all the guidance I received. If you are looking for a local scuba diving shop, or considering trying the sport of scuba diving, do yourself a favor and stop by the Ski and Scuba Connection. They offer a program called "Get Wet" where you can jump in a pool and breathe underwater for the first time! Their knowledge and experience is second to none. I have returned many times and each time I left, I was very pleased. You will not be disappointed!! read more

My boyfriend and I did our dive training with Don at the Greenwich YMCA this summer. After only a few accelerated weeks we passed our exams and pool training and were ready for our first trip this fall to Key West also with Don. It was a great experience overall and for someone completely unfamiliar with SCUBA, fairly easy to understand. I highly recommend both the training and dive trips, Don and his team are super good. read more

I consider myself a beginner in all of this and I was treated very rudely by the clerk as a result. I asked for a product and got back a sarcastic, snarky remark. I left the store without the product and with the hopes that the clerk was simply having a bad day. I cannot speak for their dive programs, but I know that I'll be taking my business elsewhere and would encourage others to do the same until customers can be treated with respect, regardless of skill level. I specifically went here because I thought a small, local shop would be able to help someone who wants to get started in scuba, but I thought wrong. read more

I did my scuba training with Don last summer. Don is a really nice person and professional scuba master! The class size is small, so everyone can interact with Don and learn diving skills. Highly recommended! read more

Don is really the best of the best. I travelled from NYC to take my scuba course because as an initially nervous beginner, I was looking for a patient instructor, a true teacher. Don is not only an expert scuba master, but makes the classes fun and empowers you to learn in your own pace, or learning style. Would recommend Ski & Scuba Connection to anyone interested in learning to dive. read more

VERY ATTENTIVE AND PROFESSIONAL OPERATION. Our 13 year old daughter needed to get ready to go to Grand Cayman to SCUBA dive - we only had 2 weeks to get her ready for the Open Water part of her certification. Don helped us accomplish this goal with ease! He gave her private lessons at the YMCA Greenwich pool. He guided us to sign up for PADI's Elearning on-line program to get all the classroom work done in a condensed and timely fashion. Our daughter found Don to be very patient and a very good teacher! She flew down to Grand Cayman and completed her Open Water dives with ease and was deemed to be very well prepared! IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS AND PLEASURE ! They also have a store with all the gear we needed and they patiently fitted my daughter. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! read more

Thanks to Ski and Scuba Connection in Greenwich Ct, my family and I enjoyed the trip of a lifetime in the Galapagos in March 2014. Store manager Jody could not have been nicer or more knowledgeable. She took oodles of time fitting me, my husband and our daughter with snorkel masks that fit our faces perfectly. This was critical in making our snorkeling as outstanding as it was. The masks fit perfectly which is key in keeping out the water, and allowed even "timid" me in the water me to relax and enjoy the experience. I would highly recommend getting fitted for a mask as it really makes all the difference in your ability to stay in the water comfortably. And I would definitely take the time to head over to Ski and Scuba Connection if you are in the market for any diving or snorkeling related items. They really take time with you and because they dives themselves, they want YOU to develop the love of the sea that they have. They really help you get there. They were the best! read more
