Sam is an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced oceanographer. The product he produces is far more technically advanced than alternatives simply due to the effort Sam puts into his product as a result of his years of studying the ocean and the creatures that inhabit it. His knowledge is unmatched in the fishing maps industry.
