Hurricane Katrina struck landfall as a category 3 with winds around 120 mph caused most of its damage through flooding. Hurricane Andrew struck Florida and the gulf as a category 5 with winds acceding 165 mph. Even though Andrew was much stronger when it hit. The damage Katrina caused exceeded Andrew's cause of all the flooding done because of New Orleans being under sea level and the levee's failing which instead of blocking the water it trapped the water in. The official death toll is 1,836.

Assuming that the other diver hit the object accidentally, you cannot impute the damage to your car to the other guy for hitting road debris, just like you cannot blame another driver for kicking up a stone that cracks your windshield. Those are not acts of negligence. That is what collision and comprehensive insurance is for. (Usually, the former covers damage from striking objects, and the latter covers damage from striking animals.)
