In British and Irish slang, a 'diver' can mean a loon or eccentric oddball — someone a bit off-kilter in an endearing or exasperating way. Separately, it's standard English for anyone who dives underwater, whether a professional frogman working in hazardous conditions or a recreational scuba enthusiast exploring reefs. The slang sense plays on the idea of someone who's always going deep in weird directions, mentally if not physically.
Don't mind him, he's a total diver — always spinning some outlandish story about nothing.
