Advantages of Diving with PDC

  • Capt Ron is the lead Oriskany diver with
    over 325 Oriskany dives since her sinking
    in May 2006.

  • You're not just getting a free Dive Master,
    you're getting a Navy trained SCUBA
    instructor that is used to gently and
    professionally handling inexperienced
    divers and that guy, you know him, dive
    god who knows everything.

  • The diving desires of experienced divers
    are understood and respected.

  • You can dive Nitrox without being certified
    and get NAUI certified after the dive with a
    simply multiple choice test.

  • Smaller groups with less hassle and wait

  • Personalized and simply better service

  • More room on the boat for your comfort

  • Less time spent boarding and departing
    and more time spent diving.

  • A longer surface interval for a longer
    second dive.

  • 1 DM to 4 diver ratio is much safer.
Capt Ron can marry you above or below.
Small dive groups and personalized service that meets
your diving desires without the "Dive Nazi" attitude!

Bean bags for your traveling comfort!
Capt Ron is currently the lead Oriskany diver.
With  over
325 dives on the Oriskany since her
reefing last year on May 17, 2006, he has
experienced every type of dive condition that
you may encounter on your Oriskany charter.
Capt Ron knows how to ensure that you have a
safe and fun trip regardless of your experience
level.

You may have been told that divers are
required to have 20 dives before diving the
Oriskany, that may me true for most dive shops
and charters, but Capt Ron specializes in
Oriskany Charters for:
Newly certified open water divers with 5 or
more total dives, Junior Divers (must be at
least 15 years old), First Time Nitrox Students,
Handicapped Divers, Senior Divers, and divers
that haven't dove in years.

The  Oriskany is one of the safest recreational
deep dives in the world and is perfect for a
divers first
deep dive.

There will never be more than six divers in your
tour group and you'll never dive deeper than
your comfort level.

Regardless of your experience level you
should have an experienced ORISKANY Dive
Master who understands your diving desires,
abilities, and needs.

Before you book your charter anywhere else:
Simply ask, "Will  you guarantee that an  
experienced  ORISKANY Dive Master  be
provided free of charge?"  

Have questions?  Call Capt Ron 7 days a week,
24/ 7 on his personal cell phone.  (850) 434-8464

Where and When Do We Meet Up?

Where?
MBT Dive Shop
3920 Barrancas Ave, Pensacola, FL 32507.

When?
8am @ MBT or a previously discussed time.
Return between 3:30pm-4:30pm

Why?
There are four dive shops in the Pensacola  
area and they all use independent
sub-contractors to charter dive trips.  

This works out best for the diver because if the
original booked boat is out of service, the
dive shop will look to find another boat for
you so you don't lose your charter.

Capt Ron can  receive referrals from all the
dive shops and most importantly,  you can  
book directly with Capt Ron so that there is
no confusion or over booking issues with
your Oriskany charter.  

Booking directly with PDC also allows you to
speak directly with your boat captain to
address any specific questions or concerns
you might have about your charter.

Because the Sea Sherpa is a 28' fast boat,
Capt Ron can  trailer it right to his local dive
shop.  You can pull your vehicle right up to
the boat and we'll  load up all your tanks
and gear right there outside the shop.  The
Oriskany is a 69 mile round trip, you want a
fast boat!

If you need anything last minute, a friendly  
full-service dive shop is only a few steps
away.  You only have to unload  your dive
gear from your vehicle once, and fresh water
rinse tanks are right there waiting for  you
when get back.  

Once the boat is loaded, Capt Ron will drive
you in a passenger van a half-mile down the
road to the boat launch.  There's no marina
to find, there's no long walks from the
parking lot with all your heavy dive gear, it's
absolutely the most convenient way to dive
the Oriskany.

Any tank or equipment rentals you require for your
charter must be paid for separately at the dive shop.
PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE  
TANKS or EQUIPMENT RENTAL.

"Diving is NOT my hobby,  it's NOT my way to make extra cash
on the weekends, diving is my life, and it's my full-time job.  
You're going to spend good money and I want to make sure
you have a good time.  I want you to come back and I need you
to come back and I'm going to take care of you, your friends,
and your family as if they were my own.  I'm not just your
captain, I'm your tour guide, and your spare air. I'll be right
there diving with you. You can't pay for that kind of comfort.
