We are also planning on a few trips on Pelican, need to get my wife's Advanced Nitrox/ Deco Procedure cert dives in & I need Matt from DQ (her instructor) to be on the boat.
I have been out with them a couple of times, so I can answer any ? you might have, but the main thing is space on the boat.
They have plastic bins that your gear must fit in, not really a problem & it does not include drysuits which go up front. If you have your gear set up before hand all you really need to bring is mask, fins & the such. I have always had plenty of room in my bin left over.
Also no coolers, they have a large cooler to hold all your drinks.

26ft, normally just 1 crew plus Capt. Can take 6 divers.
Kind of tight suiting up, but normally do it in pairs so not too bad.
Capt. lets you dive your dive & doesn't put any pressure on profiles.

We were down at DQ this morning getting our Nitrox cards sent in and I picked up a flyer with the Pelicans schedule. Looks very, very interesting. It is nice not having to drive half a day to get to and from a dive boat. I foresee alot of diving from VB in my future.
Here is CAPT Dave's website and informationon the Pelican II if you need it: Pelican Dive Charter

Thank you all for your valuable input, we are planning a trip with Capt. Dave and the Pelican II in August and we will let you know our thoughts when we return. Thank you again for your input and help finding a reliable boat and crew; Douglas
