Lost comms off the coast of Louisiana back in '09

I was doing a pipeline inspection 40 feet down near Grand Isle when my intercom system just died mid sentence. Couldn't hear the surface at all and had to rely on hand signals through the tend line for the next 20 minutes while I finished the run. Has anyone else had a comms failure in low viz and had to switch to backup signals?

That "mid sentence" loss is the worst. Had a similar thing happen in a flooded quarry once, except my light died too and I had to feel my way back to the line.

Got a backup light or a glow stick in your pocket for situations like that?
