Dude was 67 years old.
A few years back we dove with a dude that was maybe 55...tide started moving and we had to start cutting rope to save him.
No shark...certainly not a barracuda. There would've been too much noise, at any age, with pain and adrenaline.
To disappear like that is likely current, disorientation, and / or health related or a combination.
I'd wager it happens more frequently than you think.
