If you just pay attention to the linked article you can ferret out that this thing is a joke. Not like a haha joke.. like an OMG you can't be serious kinda joke...

Just think about this... They will start you out on this course with 50 or 75 OW dives (they apparently can't decide as they state 50 first then 75 later on) and you don't even have to own your own gear!... you can rent it..

You can't live forever! This is a great oportunity for the tech wannabe who has more money than time.

Michael Ange? well, there you go. I've spent some time talking with Mr Watts (owner of 40 fathom groto) and I can't believbe he goes along with this. I guess his last wife got more out of him than I thought!
