If he had used the neck-strap, maybe the diver would have found him at the bottom of the ocean still wearing his camera. We don't know what really happened on that boat.

Lol, drop it in a bag of rice for a week, and when it dires out see if it even turns on lol. Amazing. If it does, Canon may want to use it for a selling point lol.
