It's an assumption based on the same name and profile details:

If you search members by "kenny lee", there is a Kenny Lee in California listed.
Kenny Lee Profile
Seems unlikely there are two divers from Irvine that both usually dive Laguna with that same name.
The SB profile states:
"Last Activity: Yesterday 01:29 PM"
That's about an hour before the diver was reported stuck.
Either way, again, deepest condolences to friends and family.
The above is speculation, but there seem to be a good many details that match. However, the original news post was dated Friday, 10 Sep 2010. Therefore, it is probably not our Kenny -- unless someone logged on as him.
Prayers for the family and the diver.
