He's not a diver, he's a wheelchair bound individual. For him to experience "free floating weightlessness" this is the only way. In the padded craft he can bounce around all he wants.
cnn.com has the video of his trip by the way.

P.S
I met Stephen Hawking in the RDS.
A living testament to the triumph of the human will over insuperable difficulties.
