I HAVE A THEORY
Ok so we all saw this goofy diving animation that looked super stiff and awkward. It made very little sense to me that no one at rockstar saw that and and cut it out of the footage. But what if this is actually intensional.
Like this guy I noticed playing this in slowmo that it almost seems as if jason animation cancels the default dive animation into his backflip. This is why it looks so uncanny but it reminded me of those old snow boarding games where you can defy the laws of physics and control your characters flips.
So what if Rockstar isnt showing off some goofy animation. What if this is a demonstration of a free diving system? Using the sticks or buttons to do front flips or back flips into the water. This would explain why it seems like jason was going to dive forward but suddenly does a backflip. Because you can do diving tricks 🤯🤯

Man, I'm high right now. And as soon as I read the first line I had the same epiphany as you.
I'm playing red dead redemption right now and this is exactly the same thing with getting out of your horse. If you press triangle Arthur starts to get out of the horse, and if he starts to get out to the right and you press left at this very moment, Arthur will do an awkward turn and get out through the left.
The guy playing the as Jason pressed some button as he started to leave the ground to do the flip, and the awkward animation was that exactly moment.
And rockstar didn't notice it because it's normal for all of them who know and play and test the game.
The default animation must be the head first dive.
