Unique (Emmit) took over/ bought Pelican's SCUBA operations.
Pelican still runs tons of other stuff...............Pelican Adventures. Direct competition with DePalm tours.
Pelican has land tours, watersports, horseback riding and other stuff. http://www.pelican-aruba.com/tours.html

I also had a chance to meet Emmit. I think he's doing a great job. Unique took over Pelican last year. I heard that they were looking to focus more on the food service side of their operations. While their shop is between the Radisson and RIU, Unique still maintains the area used by Pelican on the Pelican Pier to pick up divers.
