That's a strong current, but not a downcurrent

Look at minute 4:00, the bubbles are going down for a fair while after they leave the divers. It is a downcurrent!

Mild down current.

So if it has happens on 12 minutes I would say using same scale descend from 23 to 95 takes about 6 minutes ~12m/minute

What we would worry about is ascending speed. Based on your info, he ascended from 95 to surface in 3 minutes or > 30m/min or over 3 times the rate of a safe ascend of 10m/min.

Probably he was out of air before ascend... Given this profile he might spent over 3000 l before start ascending

I'm not seeing anyone going down to 95 msw without blowing past NDL, and I'm not seeing anyone with a 15L tank having enough gas to do the subsequent deco stops. To me that looks like a clear "better bent than drowned" scenario where you're too deep in poo to worry about safe ascent rate.

The oxygen toxicity would get you at 95 m also
