There are a number of reasons the Sand Dollar
is the best choice for your groups dive
charter in Southern California.
We are proud of our reputation, and
proud of our dive trips.

The Sand Dollar stands alone in quality,
reliability, and support for the groups
that have charter trips with us.

First.... The Sand Dollar does not run "open boats" in direct competition
with its charter customers. We believe that to offer trips at a discounted
price, lower than the stores prices, and trying to divert interested divers
to one of our "open boats" hurts the store, and group, lowers the value
of a trip, and creates a bad reputation when the "open boat" cancels for
lack of people, as they often do. We support our customers, and refer all
interested divers to the charter group that has a trip scheduled. Loyalty !!

Second.... The Sand Dollar generates repeat business. We found out long
ago that repeat business is the best business, and know repeat business is
not an accident. We treat customers like family, expecting them to return.

Third.... The Sand Dollar is reliable. Since the Sand Dollar was built as
a dive boat, and has always been a dive boat, it was designed with the
systems, and back up systems, that a liveabord dive boat should have.
Two Generators, Three Compressors, Air Storage Banks, Dual Water
Systems, Dual Engines, Water Makers, and Four Air Filling Stations,
all contribute to unmatched reliability for our multiple day diving trips.

Fourth.... The safety features of the Sand Dollar are higher than the
requirements of the U S Coast Guard. The Sand Dollar is equipped
with inflatable life rafts, and a satelite emergency beacon. It is this
extra margin of safety that goes unseen, but could be vital if needed.

Fifth.... The Sand Dollar has a great reputation. With charter groups
that go back as far as twenty years, we are more than happy to give
references. You will find that groups come on the Sand Dollar time
after time, and always receive the great service they expect from us.

Sixth.... The meals of the Sand Dollar are a story of their own. We
have always had a reputation of great meals, and that never changes.
Sorry, no frozen lasagna, frozen burgers, or canned soup on our trips !

Of course, we have pure breathing air, tested regularly, and we supply
air cylinders, and weights. We have Enriched Air - Nitrox, and refills.
We have charter rates that are very competitive, and in most cases are
lower than any other reputable boat, because we are able to spread the
costs over a larger number of trips. We have experienced, and licensed
captains, and a crew that makes your trip enjoyable. We have the meals
and the reputation, and the references to back it up. We do it Right !!
