Dave rocked. We had the best time with him. I knew when I first called it was going to be a great trip. The prep he puts into tracking the tides, currents, & fish sets you up to have a successful day out there. Appreciate his time & dedication endlessly!

We have booked our scalloping trips with Captain Dave on multiple occasions and plan to do more. We have also gone with other people but never came close to matching our "catch" with Dave! His professionalism and expertise completely change the outcome of your day. Very highly recommend it!
August 18, 2025
It was awesome. He gets you where the scallops are, and if the spot isn't paying out, he knows more places to go. He's also a friendly guy that isn't afraid to get dirty and will get out in the water with you.

My husband and I had an amazing time. We’ve never been scalloping before and Captain Dave and his dive master Laura showed us everything we needed to know so that we would have a complete blast! 10/10 recommend!

Return customer here…Captain Dave and his first mate were knowledgeable and personable. We had the best day scalloping with my three teenagers and Mom, everyone had a blast! Will definitely be returning next year!
