This person could have been poaching abalone, which people have been arrested for in the area. Snorkeling equip, no lights, small boat, kinda makes sense that way.

He just vanted to be left abalone!

[Kip Lange]

Yes, having lived there, that does make possible sense.

Does the guy look like a certain person from foodtv?

Ming's taking his show on the road! In search of creative cuisine and culinary adventure, Ming travels the U.S. with chef knife in tow. He'll rustle up some longhorns in Colorado, try his hand at ostrich farming in Texas, and dive for abalone in California--then prepare sumptuous meals on location with his signature East-West flair.
