Definitions
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.

An Irish regional name for the cormorant, a large, dark-colored seabird known for its exceptional diving ability. The name is descriptively straightforward — the bird is black and it dives. Regional folk names for animals like this were common before standardized ornithological naming, and black-diver reflects the practical, visual approach Irish coastal communities took to naming the wildlife around them.
