Need to Compare and Ask Questions?

Use the chart's when choosing your boat for a Liveaboard Trip! You can judge what is important, and the type of trip you can expect if you ask some questions. Some "liveaboards" may only have a few multiple-day trips scheduled per year - and there is a reason why!

Take the time to compare - we'll see you on the Sand Dollar !

Need to Ask a Few Details?

You should be informed...it is your money ! A trip that is run poorly or illegally is not a very good value at all. Get references !! Print the questions, and feel free to ask ! Don't be fooled by boats that lack business or have no reputation. Ask questions first !

We're the Sand Dollar and we do it RIGHT!

• Tested Pure Breathing Air - Current Tests on Display (shouldn't you know what you are breathing ?)

• Coast Guard Certified - An inspected boat with safety equipment that exceeds the 2005 requirements !

• Enriched Air Nitrox Available-Safer Diving with EAN

• A boat that has a REAL schedule! - We do not print a list of all of our unscheduled days as "open boats"and hope to get enough divers to run a trip. We have trips !

• A boat that is a REAL liveaboard - not a "wanna be" liveaboard. Look at the schedule of some that call themselves liveaboards. They have NO multi-day trips scheduled for 5 or 6 months. They want to be a Liveaboard, but certainly are not a liveaboard !

• The Meals! We serve you the best we can - not some frozen burgers, or canned soup, and a bag of salad.

• Air Conditioning and heating - you can be comfortable !

    There is a reason that the Sand Dollar Dive Boat has such a busy schedule, with repeat business, and charter groups that have been returning year after year after year. When you look at a schedule full of "open boats" and unscheduled dates, the question should be "WHY ?" What is wrong with that picture ? Some claim such great knowledge and experience, or to be "specialists", but have no trips,  just recently acquired the boat, or have a schedule full of "open boats". You can be sure of a great trip, if you are on a trip with the one that does it right, does it all the time, and really has scheduled trips, with repeat business. We are better.
We are the Sand Dollar.... We Do Diving Right !
