"Police are investigating the death of a man found in the Hudson River wearing scuba gear."

Hmm. My inital thought: Those Ukrainean pilots who died after delivering their mysterious "cargo"

Do people go scuba diving at this time of the year, in that location?

No one would be recreational diving at this location at this time of the year. It would be a very dangerous dive as it sounds like only the shipping channel is open. The number one rule of diving is don't dive alone. If this was a recreational diver he would have had another diver with him as well as a support team in these conditions. There is no way this was a responsible recreational diver.
