A detector for underwater electromagnetic surveying is described. The detector comprises first, second, third and fourth electrodes which are arranged to define first, second and third electric dipole antennae extending between pairs of the electrodes. Each dipole antennae extends between a pair of the electrodes and the fourth electrode is common to all three dipole antennae. Thus the first electrode is separated from the fourth electrode along a first direction to provide the first dipole antenna, the second electrode is separated from the fourth electrode along a second direction to provide the second dipole antenna, and the third electrode is separated from the fourth electrode along a third direction to provide the third dipole antenna. The electrodes are arranged so that the first, second and third directions are inclined at an angle of between 20 and 70 degrees to a surface on which the detector rests when in normal use.
