I go out on the Emerald and Guy and I have had our disagreements on here about the operation, but Randy does push it. That's why I said it's not for the inexperienced; those dives are in over 80 feet of water, in heavy current, and I don't think anyone does them on standard air. On top of that you will be seeing big sharks flashing their pearly whites at close range. You couldn't pay me to try the nose-rubbing bit in proximity to bait, and I'd balk at getting as close as Mickey, Cameron, and Alan Egan get for "the shot."
I would strongly suggest not doing an Emerald trip unless you have a lot of drift dive experience at depth and on nitrox. I would also strongly suggest making an honest assessment of how you react to sudden stress underwater. My first shark dive with Randy I had a silky shark get in my face a few times, and panicking underwater isn't a good thing even without depth, current, and sharks.
