Spent 4 hours on a simple hydraulic fitting in zero viz

Working a bridge inspection in Mobile, my backup light hose blew a fitting at 80 feet in total mud. Had to feel for the right size in my kit with thick gloves, took forever to get the threads started straight. What's your go-to method for dealing with small parts in black water?

Why not just tape the part to your glove before you go down? Feeling around in the dark is a last resort, not a method.

Tape can fail though, and sometimes you just have to find it by feel. (Been there, done that, got the greasy gloves.)
