The Skipper
Allan Lopez is the skipper of Spellbinder II. He has been skippering boats since he gained his ticket in 1976. All this time behind the wheel of various boats means that Allan has an unparalleled knowledge of the northeast coast.
Certainly when it comes to diving Allan is very good at finding where the best underwater visibility on the day. He is also very good at providing advice on which wrecks to dive based on the group of divers he has that day (newly qualified to tech divers).
Allan is also often assisted by his trusty second in command Mark. Between them they do all of the shot setting, pickups and cook lunch, all the while maintaining a grand sense of humour, and a bucket of chocolate biscuits!
