Let's just say I didn't make it that far.
I'm literally a moving ScubaPro billboard (sponsor me)

The guys got less than 25 dives, I don't think he is trying to take himself too seriously
I realize the original post is tongue in cheek, but to add a touch of seriousness...
ScubaPro will indeed sponsor you for wearing their equipment, but they want to have some kind of assurance that you will look like you know what you are doing while wearing their gear. In fact, pretty much all dive equipment manufacturers will do that. They will offer significant discounts to professionals who wear their gear, sometimes below dealer cost. With some companies, it can be very difficult to get those discounts, and with others it can be pretty easy. I used to be a ScubaPro billboard for pretty much that reason. Now I own almost nothing made by them. Ironically in light of the original post, I only have a 15-year old mask that they probably don't even make any more.

Let's see... I use ScubaPro harnesses (the old X-Teks) but with a HOG wing locally (but ScubaPro when traveling), ScubaPro/Uwatec dive computers (with a Dive Rite backup) and nothing but ScubaPro regulators (I must own 7 or 8 of them). And the regs and harnesses have thousands of dives on them. Maybe?

Google doesn't think you should see it...although it worked for me just now. It could be related to my having an active google account also.
It could be something in your firewall also. But probably not.

diver 85, are you attempting to look at this at the office? It is very possible Google mail/drive is blocked by your IT dept and that is what that message looks like.
