3) I was told he doesn't have to be. I asked tex. If you think that's wrong, take it up with him.

The thing about being a 'Diver' is that it's more of a label that people push onto you. If Ebenezer doesn't consider himself a Diver, that's fine. But if he leaves the confines of the city on his own, without an escort or some government order, than others would still consider him as a Diver.

Most Divers spend a lot of their time outside nation borders, while some simply leave their homes whenever it's most profitable. 'Diver' is really just a label for people who leave the borders, so if people don't know about that, they wouldn't even consider you to be a Diver. 

Not to mention, some Divers take pride in the title. From the sound of it, Ebenezer is more concerned with studying (He is a scholar after all) than he is with profit, so he doesn't match the common Diver dynamic, despite the fact that he's left the border before. The occupation tab is more of a 'what does your character consider themselves as?' sort of deal.
