Comments	The dive operation will pick you up at the hotel and take you to the boat that is across the inlet. I could see the boat from my room. It would be nice if they would pick you up at the hotels dock. The boat was equipped with all the safety features, oxygen, first aid kit water, etc. I did not like the fact that they actually sell food right on the boat to feed the fish while diving, and is the reason the sergeant majors are particularly pesky. I had to keep pushing schools of them away from my mask. For some unknown reason on the very rough 1.5 hour boat ride out to the Lost Blue Hole the dive master had everyone gather on the hull of the boat while in transport with waves crashing over the bow for his dive briefing. I would not do that again, I could not see nor could I hear, it was plain dumb. My wife did not go on this dive because of that briefing. He did say more than once not to touch the rim of the hole because the sand will impair visibility and one of the dive masters stood on the rim the whole dive because he is afraid of the sharks!!! The Lost Blue Hole dive has about 70 black tips and gray reef sharks swimming all around you but they do not come very close.
