For additional nuance, as a diver, one of your greatest threats is an out of control diver because they can easily get you both killed. Even beginners are told to fend off and swim away from an ooc diver.
Feeling a human unexpectedly grab him must’ve activated all sorts of panic and survival mechanisms.
The video of that rescue did the rounds at the time and it's crazy. The diver thought he'd found another body but the guy held his hand. Diver nearly died of a heart attack.
