Yes, it gets cold as pressure decreases (temperature decreases). Redo this using the tank being filled (assuming its at 1000 psig or 1014.7 psia) and you'll see it gets warm - but such a quick fill may delay the conduction of heat through the cylinder walls for a minute or so and maybe the diver did not notice it afterward.
