I dove the Pelican, this is a new operation with an excited owner/operator. This Captain has the ability to put his boat on top of the wrecks with ease. He knows fish migration patterns and where to find the big sea bass, taug and flounder. The boat is set up nice and he continues to improve the operation via diver suggestions. He's very safety conscious, has O2 on board and usually a PADI instructor/divemaster. The boat is a 25 Parker, fast and stable. Somewhat space restricted on the diver deck but very doable with the proper diver management. I've gone twice have always come back with big fish and little damage to my wallet. Each time I've seen, ocean sunfish, sharks, dolphin, sea turtles and several lobsters. Give this guy a try, you might like his operation; I did.

I agree that Dave runs a nice operation, I don't spearfish, but he allows you to run your own profile as long as you have the equipment & training for said dive.
My last trip report on the Kurn was from this boat. I also dove the Powell & he allowed me to do just 1 long dive by myself. 75 minutes on bottom with 31 minutes of deco at 95fsw.
Don't bring a set of doubles bigger than some 108s & you will be fine. Any bigger & they are tough to handle without a cut thru transome.
