Most people find the other two dives better, that it is indeed a long day, would probably not do it again (been there, done that), and are happy to have the T shirts to show for it. Having said all that, I think it's worth doing once.
Is it worth it just to go out and snorkel the BH? Some in my group don't want to dive (too much to get certified) and just snorkel. Where are the better locations to dive/snorkel. I know we want to do the BH, just to say we have and get the t-shirt, but same may want a shorter day. Thanks for the info, though!
