You are braver than I. I leave the area selection and chumming to the experts. They have their locations and "special sauce" recipies perfected. If I remember correctly from my last shark dive using mammal/steer blood as mentioned in a previous post is a no-no.
The Aquatica has a HUGE snorkel cage so that kids can climb in the water and see the sharks first hand for themselves, with close and gentle in the water adult supervision and support. They have an educational presentation on the boat as well. The kids loved it and seemed to learn a special respect and appreciation for the sharks. The whole presentation/encounter experience was extremely well done.
