1) Hope to hell i have the dome port and 24mm lens on the camera.

2) Hope the damn thing stays around long enough for me to f$%# with my strobe, F-stop, exposure time, and composition so i can get a decent shot of it.

FWIW, Paul Anes out of San Diego has some nice caged (or out of the cage if you wish) blue & mako shark dives. He is also running a trip to Isla Guadalupe this November to hunt for an 18 footer that's been repeatedly sighted down there. None of those trips are cheap, but they're definitely memorable.
