Do you like For Your Eyes Only (1981), as far as Bond goes?

I just watched it again, and part of the plot I have never really understood.

WARNING: "SPOILER" spoilers below
I didn't understand why Kristatos, just didn't steal the ATAC right away. He hires a hitman to take out the man who went to look for the ATAC, and I assume that man was somewhere near where the ship sank, so why not wait for him to locate it, and then take him out after he found it, and steal it right there? Why kill him, then wait like two weeks for Bond to find it and take it then?
