Here is the start of the thread on the xkcd forums; and here is the post revealing the final message (a latitude and longitude plus a date and time)."

You can submit a name that will be written on a mini-disk and flown aboard the upcoming Phoenix mission to Mars. Included in the free (as in beer) service is a certificate to present to them as proof of their name going into space. Sorry folks, mothers-in-law are not allowed.

The product seems to be targeted at scuba divers and the many people who enjoy snorkling etc. with a view to guiding them to, and around, the many amazing underwater sites in the world.
Their technical researchers have been demoing it on a wreck off the south west coast of the UK. It uses GPS to help you navigate around the wreck, whilst triggering various media and information that relates to the site — all whilst your 35 meters underwater.
It got me wonder whether there were actually any Divers out there who would be interested in using such a specialist device, and whether the explosion of specialist gadgets like this one has once and for all proved that the convergence theory is codswallop?"
