The captain should have made sure the anchor was set before anyone hit the water. Assuming this was the case, I think he should have picked up the diver. If the boat was about to run aground then communicate intentions with the diver in the water, make sure diver is clear, then move to reset anchor. If moving more than 100' away the diver should have been provided with a Diver Down flag system. As soon as the dive boat was more than 100' away the diver was technically breaking the law (depending upon the specific laws in your area). Obviously not the divers fault so that is why I say it was the captains responsibility to make sure he was set.
