He was talking about removing her wristband a few minutes earlier, but I'm not sure if that exact thought was in his mind at the time. He definitely hesitating in pulling her up/took too long to pull her up. But I guess they could have both been a bit shocked too. There was definitely some contemplation going on through his mind then, he clearly didn't like her yet and wanted the ark to think she was dead.
