The Channel Islands of Southern California offer some of the best scuba diving in the world. Far enough off the coast to have clear water (average of 50-100 feet visibility), yet close enough to travel in a reasonable time. The kelp and aquatic life is among the best in the world. Each island has it's very own special characteristics. We are now scheduling our 2003 charters ! Join our group of charterers for the best value in dive trips in the world !! You will be glad you did, and your guests will be, too! Join us !

The SAND DOLLAR is available for charter to clubs, Dive Stores, and other groups. With just a minimal number of divers, your group can have a two or three day trip, and generate significant profits. We believe that we offer the finest dive trip in Southern California, at prices that are the most competitive of any legitimate operation. We have a reputation for quality, and the experience of years of multiple day dive trips, and can provide references of groups that have been diving with us for many years. Don't get fooled (or worse !! ) by some imitation of our GREAT dive trips !! The SAND DOLLAR is the only Southern California Dive Boat that supplies Enriched Air-Nitrox, and is an approved facility of both ANDI & IANTD, with on-board blending as well as refill capability, with hydrocarbon free air, certified pure, and oxygen clean. We do Nitrox Right !!

Reservations for groups of 1 or more are available on all of our scheduled trips. Our trips that are scheduled are sponsored by a charter group and will operate. These aren't "open boats" that may depend upon having the number of divers necessary for a profitable trip, or they cancel. The trips that are listed are real trips, that welcome divers. For a schedule of our great dive trips, please see our Schedule Page, and select your trip. Our Schedule shows current trips as well as a schedule for 6 months into the future. We look forward to your visit, and to your return. Repeat business is our primary goal.
