It’s called drift diving (usually done with scuba gear), I’ve done it once in a proper current, it’s really fun, it feels like flying. 1/2

Scuba divers will often plan their dives so that they can drift their dive away from their boat, and then back when the tide turns. 2/2

Don't see weights here. And also, no fins? Little difficult to get back to the surface before drowning without fins. What do you think?

than 10m, I'd estimate -20 to-30m. So his lung capacity will be 1/3 to 1/4 surface capacity due to pressure. Further decreasing buoyancy.2/3

He's free-diving (notice no SCUBA gear), hence no bubbles and stable buoyancy.
