Comparison of Single Day Trip to Catalina Island
Sand Dollar Liveaboard "all included" trip
to the advertised "open boat" trips by others.

It is not a big mystery why the
Sand Dollar Livaboard Dive Boat
has more trips in Southern California.

We also have clean, tested breathing air,
inflatable boat in water for safety, have
California Fish and Game licenses, and
the most trips to the most destinations !!
We don't call frozen lasagna a great meal,
nor do we think popcorn is a hearty snack !
Eat right, and enjoy the SAND DOLLAR !!

Many divers comment on the big difference
between Sand Dollar's trips, and imitations.
Think about this .. if you were having friends
over, would you serve them frozen burgers ?
Would you serve frozen lasagna, and bagged
salad ? How about canned soup ? We do not
think that is how we should treat our friends,
so we always put out our best, and expect to
see them return (and they do) often. The big
difference is: We actually welcome you ! You
deserve our very best, and will always get it !!
