While I’m a firm believer that he’s actually alive, there could be a sad reason he hasn’t resurfaced, besides maybe he’s living in Atlantis if he finally found it, but the cape:

The force of the cape pulling him into the water when he was actively fighting against it could’ve seriously damaged his wind pipe through pressure, to the point where when he gained his bearings, using his powers to adapt to the water and make his way to shore, when he surfaced, one; he realised he couldn’t speak, and two; he realised he couldn’t breathe.

The damage was too great, he could breathe through gills his adapting made but not his throat.

Sure, he could’ve found a way to contact the NSA, but we know next to nothing about this dude, for all we know, he could’ve hated being a hero bc all he wanted to do was study the oceans and look for Atlantis, he could’ve figured this was his chance to cut loose from the NSA’s monitoring and do what he wants with his life.
