Where is he holding an uninflated jacket? His arms are both right in front of him. Are you saying there’s a life jacket in his hands?
He’s got one arm on the left side of his body and one on the right, the right one is higher up, near the surface.
Not what I see; I see his right arm reaching up, and illuminated by sunlight, while his left arm, in shadow, is at his side, holding a yellow life jacket. But these photos are not clear enough to say anything definitively.
