Both Dives are great! Both dives are part of a two tank package.
The shark dive is easiest for weighting because you've got to over weight to keep you on the floor for a half hour. (also so the sharks have been known to knock folk over)
They take you on a wall dive first before the shark arena. You didn't ought to over weight on that! it's 6500' deep!!
They do give you ample chance to perform a weight check before you actually submerge.
Go to the North shark wall for better pics. Bright Yellow sand floor as a back ground looks really cool! Go to the South shark wall for a closer experience. The north they place you about 30' from the feeder, i enjoyed the south dive Sunday just past and i was about 8' from the action.
The Lost Blue hole is normally the first of the two dives since it's deeper. If you can, go in the morning. divers kick up silt and with no current in the hole it just hangs. To my mind, it's worth the extra $20 to say you've dived a blue hole but frankly it's not as impressive as the drop off wall by a long shot. (Particularly when followed by a very shallow reef dive when you're already concerned with your buoyancy.) And then you've got the shark experience right after!
Hope this helps. Either way i reckon you'll have a great dive!
