no reason to hire a private DM unless you just want to. I think some folks do it just to have a DM all to themselves, for refresher courses, or they are nervous about diving with others that may have more experience than them, or several other reasons ... pretty much up to you.
BA DM's will take good care of you.
Most likely you will be on a "six-pack/fast boat" at Blue Angel if you are diving the regular morning, afternoon dive or twilight/night dives, you probably won't have to ask. They generally use the larger boats for the mid-morning "cruise shippers & mainlanders" dive that goes out around 10:30-11:00am, or when there is a large group that want to dive together.
