No, it WAS Freya who caught the sword at the end of Diamond of the Day. At least, it was her character, but not the same actor/actress. This was confirmed a while back. The makers just used a male diver for that scene, thus the reason a few people are confused.

Though, if you look CAREFULLY at the hand in The Coming of Arthur, which was also meant to be Freya, the arm while not looking as overtly male as in the finale of season five, is a bit on the buff side. I speculate that that may have been a guy's arm too, rather than Laura Donnelly's.
