It's a SHOL trial, ie test pilots working out where the edge of the deck use envelope is.
It is normal to wait for the quiessent period before landing.
Nothing abnormal or unprofessional about that video at all. Nicely handled.

Oh, and diversion not required or normal. That is why it is neccessary for all Navy pilots to practise when it is frisky.
