The PDA does most of the work for him, the only hints are: what the Devs possible truth that he is Hawaiian, he can swim for long times and hold his breath for a long time. He doesn't let emotion or feelings or loneliness get in his way, in other words he may be high functioning and not very social, or possibly autistic because that is one of the symptoms when you are at the edge of the spectrum spectrum. The PDA does all the work for him. He may have a lack of emotions, he isn't an engineer. And the fact that he was in the right place at the right time to get suited up, and into the lifepod and launch it is a key detail. Either he was passsing by, or he was working near that area. Considering the ship probably crashed in less than about 5 minutes. The player must have suited up awfully quickly and got into the lifepod at the right time. Also, the safe shallows play a big role. This means that at a certain altitude, maybe the lifepods launched would land in that general area. That is probably why some lifepods are found as they were launched around the same time. The lifepod must have been cooked, literally, the speed the ship was traveling was pretty high, after all, they were shot out of orbit, not in th atmosphere, plummeting downwards accelerating quickly.
