Joe Ga stood at the entrance of the diving training camp early in the morning.
He had signed a contract with the camp's commanding officer, carrying cash for a deal: the camp would assist Joe Ga and his team with their training and the screening of mercenaries over the next 20 days.
The total cost was $350,000, a high price that included many additional services, such as the full return of all vacationing instructors and medical teams to the camp, and access to all camp facilities for Joe Ga and his team.
There was also a special instructor to assist Joe Ga in establishing a screening process which couldn't be completely based on the standards of combat diving training.
Combat diving was, after all, an elective specifically designed for special forces; if recruits were immediately subject to the highest standards, the die-hards willing to throw their lives away for money could indeed end up dead!
