Sand Dollar

[clowe]

Going to Catalina on Sunday with a group on the Sand Dollar(http://www.divingcharters.com/). Anyone have experience with them? Good? Bad?
This is going to be my first open water dives(finishing OW cert. class), so any and all information is welcomed.

thanks!

Hi clowe,

Welcome to the SoCal section of ScubaBoard! :happywave

I moved your post out into it's own thread, so that it wouldn't be overlooked in the Great Catalina Island Sticky thread.

Hopefully, you'll get more replies this way.

I personally have no experience with the Sand Dollar, so I can't help with that.

Our club uses the Sand Dollar all the time. I have probably been on it over 75 times or more. It is a dive boat....no luxury accomadations. Kinda like camping. Great boat, great food. You'll have a great time.

Thanks Headhunter. I was unsure how people here feel about starting new threads that have parts already being discussed in others.

KazInAz, Thanks for the "camping" info My class is with OHMS in Santa Ana and they use the Sand Dollar a lot apparently. Real user info is always better IMO than info on a website.

You're welcome!

Once you pass your OW cert, you need to come out and dive with all of us! We always have a good time and welcome new people.

the web site for the sand dollar is http://www.diving.net/

let us know how it is!

I know they have nitrox, but you need an O2 clean tank

they also only fill to 2400PSI, so you might want to bring a low-pressure tank, or call them and see if they have them on board

Just use their nitrox tanks.
