We could only hope he got a sudden urge to go to Mexico. But the news reports indicate that his car and other personal effects were left on site and a deco bottle was reported in the cave itself. If he took off suddenly for parts unknown, he left quite a bit behind in his haste.
I queried whether the spring run has been checked in the event that the flow might have carried the diver out before teams began their search, but have no idea if that was done or not.
With the signs in the clay, there is no possible way he could have been pushed out from that point. Between the deep section and a high fissure crack there is a section about 250' long that is belly to back. There are also bends and such in the tunnel, not to mention the duck under immediately past the gate and grate.
