The Caribbean current of the North Atlantic Gyre could carry it around clockwise to Florida like it does plastic bags and bottles. But it sounds like this diver doesn't download and delete every day so he could have been on a cruise shooting pics here and there.That picture is definitely not taken in Holland. The architecture is wrong and nobody has open courtyards like that here.
Aruba is a long way from Florida.

Did you try uploading to Vimeo.com as host site. I don't think you can attach video here, and if you could - the limit is 400 kb.The dates on the diving pictures are November 1 and 11, 2009. The last video they shot was Nov 11. The video of the turtle is Jan, 2010. This camera has been in the water since November.
I'm amazed the turtle hit both the power and record buttons when he bit in to the housing. So far, I've had no luck uploading the video. It's 20 minutes long. It must have ran until the3 batteries died.
Your time line is off. The turtle video is the last thing shot - Jan 2010? Some cameras are good floaters even without a strobe. If there was no water inside the housing, it could float for years; if there was water inside, it's worthless. What kind of batteries does it use? Hell, camera is it? When the diver claims it, he can send a new pic of himself for ID.
You could send the pic. They may not want to look thru all of these posts.I wrote the school in Aruba, with the link to here! Maybe they will recognize one of the kids.
A suggestion with questionable merit unless he's a marine biologist or similar.Someone opined that the growth on the camera looked two months old.
