Come out and introduce yourself to Captain Rich Betterley, new Owner/Operator of Pelican Dive Charters!
Captain Rich and Captain Paul Schatz have over 15 years of diving experience in local waters. They hold numerous diving certifications from both PADI and NAUI. Our crewmembers are all experienced local divers and Divemasters whose emphasis is on assuring that all our guests have a safe and enjoyable diving experience. Each crewmember is trained in CPR/First Aid and a DAN Oxygen kit is always on board.
The "Pelican I" is a 29 foot Island Hopper with a 375 HP Caterpillar 3208 diesel. The vessel is certified to carry 16 divers plus crew.
Each day's dive sites will be decided by the Captain and crew based on a number of factors including where our guests would like to go and have been before, visibility, current and sea conditions. Whatever the selected location, with so many excellent choices of sites, rest assured, we will choose a great one for you.
