Oh, for Pete's sake. You guys miss the absolute obvious. The diver (no SCUBA equipment) was one of the passengers. You can see him getting out of the plane (the camera was probably on his shoulder). He was in the islands for recreation (duh) and took along his favorite waterproof camera (divers like to do underwater photography). It's like no one here has ever been to Hawaii.
I've heard about this video for years, and now it is a bust. You guys need to keep your paranoia in check and learn about Occam's Razor.
There was no scuba (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus). He had his face mask on, and maybe a snorkel, Couldn't see his feet. If that is what you are traveling with, because you are a pleasure diver, it is easy to slip it on from your pack.
Why wouldn’t the diver have a life vest on if they were in the plane crash? I can’t find an answer through occam, can you help me understand your perspective?
I didn't say anything about a life vest. It would seem reasonable to me that he might put one on if he had one---but there is no way of telling. Occam's Razor is a principle advanced by Isaac Newton to the effect of "make no assumptions beyond what is required." The point is that the evidence shows that "the diver" was one of the passengers who happened to have some swimming gear he could quickly slip into. There was no scuba. He exited the plane along with everyone else. No mystery why he was there---and no ulterior motive. As pointed out above, Fuddy died of heart failure following the prolonged exposure. No sinister plot.

So he had his scuba gear on before it crashed?

Oh ok. So he didn’t think he needed to get in a floatation device
I'm not saying he didn't. But one might suppose that a recreational swimmer might not think it was needful.
Are you being sarcastic?
