Yes, it seems that the basic device that the artist is using is similar 
to what you would find in an illustrated atlas where several examples of 
a thing are shown in a common environment.  But with the slightly 
whimsical line of striding divers together with the perspective 
distortions and bubbles, it is reminiscent of a fashion shoot.  Also the 
diving suits themselves take on the anthropomorphic look of cartoon 
figures.  We are so media/image saturated it is nearly impossible to 
completely control how an image is seen.
