Captain Dan,
I appreciate the questions, as I know you are a local captain as well I will say: I do not run a large vessel like your respectful operation. I am a full time Firefighter/Paramedic by trade and, I am not a certified dive professional (Advanced, Nitrox, Public Safety Diver) and I am truly just a guy with a boat, captains license, and commercial insurance who offers to take people out for boat tours, sunset cruises, and will take people to dive spots. I do not instruct nor lead any dive activities, my primary customers are people who want transportation to and from their dive spots. I do comply with the recommendations of USCG 01-12 which I fall into "dive site transit services." I do not have crew members, and I have all of the USCG mandated safety items required of an OUPV, I do not have oxygen at this particular point (picking it up this week) but being an EMS trained individual know the importance of having it and as you read am building my very small business. I am similar to other small operators in the area who offer similar services, if there is anything I missed or any further critiquing or help you are willing to provide please feel free to PM me, I would love any insight you are willing to offer.
