Expensive. The dig is probably one of the least expensive parts of the inground pool process. Essentially when you pull the vynal out that is what you have. a hole.

Is it necessary to sand blast prior to apply diamond brite a 11 year old inground pool?
It all depends on the condition of the current surface. It would be necessary if the pool is currently painted or the old plaster is de-laminating or falling off in spots. A qualified pool plasterer should be able to tell you if the condition of the pool warrants sand blasting. Sometimes all you need to do is apply Bond Kote to help the new Diamond Brite to stick. Always get a few bids and check references to insure you get the best product. Thanks Mike.

Is it acceptable to have hairline cracks in the plaster finish Diamond Bright of a new gunite pool or will it leak?
The hairline cracks in the Diamond Bright will not cause the pool to leak. You must have got plastered in hot weather and the plaster cured quickly. It is just cosmetic on the surface and not through the entire layer of plaster.
What would cause a Diamond Brite pool surface that has been recently installed to not adhere to the original plaster surface and start coming up in sheets?
You say that it did not adhere to the original plaster surface. That being said the proper prep work required when plastering over an existing surface was not done properly. Diamond Brite as well as other exposed aggregate finishes would not come off in sheets unless the applied surface was not properly prepped. Without knowing the condition of the existing surface I won't be able to tell you weather the finish should have been sandblasted or if it were structually sound enough that a acid wash, pressure wash and bonding coat would have done the trick.
