"Stupid piece of primitive junk-" Ibtisam's companion is busy trying to get the vessel to re-power itself. It's probably a futile attempt, but the short, uh, green woman has levered the main panel off so she can futz with the wiring and electronics underneath. Try as she might, Peridot can't seem to get any sort of reaction out of the submersible. At least they're not sinking. She frowns and swings her head around so she can stare up at her fishy companion.
"They're also much faster than we are while we're underwater. Or at least faster than me."
The lack of oxygen is less a problem, since gems don't really need to breath.
