Has anyone gone cage-diving off of San Fran?

I haven't yet done the cage dive out of Haleiwa, but a dive buddy of mine has.
Basically they chum the water to attract the sharks while you observe from a cage suspended in the water. I don't believe they allow scuba gear in the cage. Everyone used just masks and snorkels.
My friend enjoyed the experience, but told me that if I ever decided to try the dive, that the use of a pony bottle would probably make it better. That way you can just stay under and not have to constantly come up for air.

That's what I figured about the snorkel gear while cage diving. It would be a pain to have to keep coming up for air. I'm going to skip the Hawaii one and try it in San Fran most likely.
