I know it's too late to help Robb, but a bit of technique I observed
earlier this summer in a similar situation might help others in future. 
Somebody had dropped a mask, and Ian Marshall unlocked his reel, tied it
off to the boat, and let it drop.  That immediately gave us a line down
to the right area with enough weight to take it down.  After a few
moments to rationally plan a quick trip to the bottom, we went down after
it.  I wasn't slow going down, but Ian had retrieved the mask and was
reeling his line back in before I hit the bottom.

I never met Robb, but in his postings here he was always a gentleman and
seemed quite knowledgeable.  He will be missed.
