They mentioned that they have 300 species of marine life growing on the
wreck and that it will take years to get it all input into the model. I
suspect once the data is amassed a great educational game company would
have a ball with it.
As far as a tool for teaching safety, pilots have been learning on
computer simulators for years so it obviously is doable and works. It's
just a matter of creating a well thought out diving simulator.
I'm imagining an electronic reg/bc setup that when given accurate diver
size and weight, can measure lung capacity and breathing rate in order to
create a rather realistic simulation. If done well, this would be a
fantastic learning experience.

The post above was meant to be a reply to the 'virtual wrecks' thread but
was useless without any context. I've since re-posted it in the correct
location. Sorry for the inconvenience.
