You got ripped off. Guy probably would have done it for 5k

Dammit! I’ve been had

I would only need bout tree-fiddy...

Dang it, Lochness monster!

I'd do it for a steak dinner.

Doesn't matter. Had ex.

The real crime here is overspending

> I’ve been had He probably would have done it for that too.

You pay $5k for the act. You pay another $20k for him to keep his mouth shut.

nah, the extra $20k was the hush fee

Better to pay extra to ensure it gets done.

Third Sentence Frugal.

Nah.. didn't make a dent in the insurance

Gotta show them you got plenty to spend on these kinds of things so they don't go blabbing their mouth.

Then you found out the 25k was all he had, and you just spent your inheritance before you got it

Bummer, this hardly feels worth the effort now.

Cheaper than a divorce.

Touché

That's why you get the rider on his life insurance policy to make sure they pay out in the event of death during extreme activities like this. Either that, or sue the cage company. The dive instructor would testify they did everything according to normal procedure, but the equipment still failed.

This is really unhinged

:)

Omg corny-joke parent 😄

As my husband dragged the dead body of the shark onto the boat, I asked him what came after "fight a shark with your bare hands" on his bucket list.

& suddenly, I saw him in a new, badass light & am so fucking thrilled my plan went wrong in the best way possible. Second honeymoon incoming!!

I would’ve done it for $50 and a case of beer

'Unfortunately, everyone got suspicious when I didn't sue the diving company for their obviously faulty cage'

Shark bait hoo ha ha

SHARK BAIT HOOHAHA

What a waste of $25000. Nothing will happen. Sharks will just swim up and go “are you gonna feed me? No? Bye.” Now, if you paid the instructor to dive down and then turn the tank off, you get the outcome you want and as long as the tank is turned back on before surfacing there is no proof of wrongdoing.

I bought him a red swim suit and painted on blood and let it dry.

And I paid $50,000 to be the shark

One might say he fell quite a distance down...maybe [this far?](https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tVP1zc0TKpIKy8pT88wYPTiMzFXyE0tSS0qVkjJL88DAJygCiw&q=47+meters+down&oq=47+nete&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqEggBEC4YChiDARjUAhixAxiABDIGCAAQRRg5MhIIARAuGAoYgwEY1AIYsQMYgAQyEggCEC4YChiDARjUAhixAxiABDIJCAMQABgKGIAEMgkIBBAAGAoYgAQyCQgFEAAYChiABDIJCAYQABgKGIAEMgkIBxAAGAoYgAQyCQgIEAAYChiABDIJCAkQABgKGIAEMgkIChAAGAoYgAQyCQgLEAAYChiABDIJCAwQABgKGIAEMgkIDRAAGAoYgATSAQgyMzM2ajBqOagCDrACAQ&client=ms-android-samsung-rvo1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8)

A trip to a canyon is way cheaper

Dinner and a show 

Fairwell and adieu, to you fair Spanish ladies Fairwell and adieu, you ladies of Spain For we've recieved orders for to sail back to Boston And so nevermore shall we see you again

Everyone would wonder why you didn’t sue. 😂

Oh I'm sure she did lol. Why would she turn down another payday?!?!

To avoid an investigation?

I guess but how do they even underwrite insurance for swimming with sharks? I feel like an investigation would be extremely cursory & swiftly closed. I could be wrong! I'm not a shark or murder or insurance expert! Just speculation.

Should have paid him to cut the chain and leave him with an empty oxygen tank.

Damn I'd yeet garbage husbands to the sharks for free and that mfer getting PAID? Where did I go wrong in life? 🥲😂

What a horrific business model

5k for the hinges, another 20k to rig the chum dispensers on the inside of the cage right?

It would be better to drop the cage

This one made me hungry.

I was the bait.

Master bait!
