So something blew up and they found a fairly common diving boot close to it, that the us navy also uses and it's a conspiracy?

 

Actually, the part about it being USN issue has been debunked already. 

 

“This looks like a Thor overboot,” Neil Tordoff, the military and commercial sales director at Northern Diver, stated after viewing a photo of the boot sent by The Grayzone. “I can’t be 100% sure.”

Tordoff said Northern Diver no longer manufactures this boot due to disruptions in production brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.
 

“If it’s the Thor over boot, this was used and is still used in the oil and gas industry for divers. It’s part of a dry-diving suit that would normally be used in contaminated water to keep the diver safe,” Tordoff explained.

^^^^^^This.  As a combat diver (albeit I didn't do saturation gigs), you don't leave boots on the seafloor.  

 

I was wondering why the diver wasn't made to go back and get his stuff.

Those secret agent diver types aren't known for leaving identifiable gear around a top secret dive site.

The water down there probably has visibility of a few feet, it's amazing it was found by anybody. That still begs the question about how the hell he would lose the boot to begin with, I have to struggle to get off a damn 5mm neoprene dive boot!

As if we all don't know a bunch of dead fishermen.

I don't. I actually have no idea what you're trying to say here. 

That's what I'm saying...
