Southern California Liveaboard Diving

Your Southern California diving experience begins with booking a single or multi-day diving trip with Diving Charters Inc. aboard the Sand Dollar. The Sand Dollar travels to local dive sites such as Catalina Island, Farnsworth Bank, San Clemente Island, Santa Barbara Island, San Nicolas Islands, Begg Rock and outer banks such as Cortes and Tanner Banks, weather permitting.

Diving Charters Inc., charters the Sand Dollar for an outstanding diving experience. Your charter can be either for a Free Diving, Scuba Diving, Technical Expedition or Wreck Diving trip. The Sand Dollar can be chartered for private (closed), educational, recreational or commercial diving trips. Please see our page on chartering the Sand Dollar for additional information. However, if you are a diver searching for a specific trip, please see our trip schedule to find an available trip and booking information.

The Sand Dollar visits multiple dive sites to accommodate divers with different levels of training and experience.

The Sand Dollar serves complete hot meals and snacks during your trip. Also available are four onboard showers and two bathrooms backed with redundant systems. Our management is committed to provide you with professional service to ensure your enjoyment (visit our FAQ for answer to frequent questions).

The Sand Dollar provides steel cylinders, weights and weight belts (for our out-of-state divers) and unlimited free air refills. For a fee, Nitrox, Rebreather refills and the gases needed for Trimix diving are also available for the technical expert.

We invite you to navigate our site and learn about what makes the Sand Dollar your next choice for your Southern California diving. You can begin by viewing our virtual tour. We look forward to welcoming you on board and providing you with the most outstanding liveaboard experience in Southern California!
