Abstract
A connector for underwater use comprises a male part carried by a pod and a female part carried by a sub-sea platform, associated for instance with a well head. The female part comprises a bearing member and a water-tight bush which can be moved between a retracted position and an extended position for protecting connecting elements. A plunger comprising lateral connecting elements is similarly movable between two positions in the male part and is protected against sea water when retracted.
