Original report in US came from LATimes report from Miyagi prefecture who interviewed him per the story http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-japan-quake-scuba-20110317,0,7192950.story http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/17/hideaki-akaiwa-japan-tsunami_n_837250.html Nevertheless the "badass" story is a better read than the LATimes one even if it is embellished. I think the situation in Japan (earthquake, tsunami and reactor emergencies all at the same time) has people longing for "good" stories.
