On a Semi submersible at drilling draft the top of the pontoons would be about 10 - 20m below sea level. My understanding is that the casualty ended up lying on top of the pontoon - and did not sink back to bottom

That was my understanding as well. In any event, if it was on the bottom there would be little problem in dropping a Class 2 bell or other SCC to the site. Alternatively the back-up ADS (required by law in most areas) or an ROV could make the recovery.
