Abstract
Sampling apparatus for taking underwater samples has an open ended tube fitted with closures biased for movement from positions in which the ends of the tube are open to a position in which the ends of the tube are closed. A releasable latch releasably maintains the closures in their open positions. A latch release line is coupled to the latch for transmitting to the latch from a remote point a tensile force of such magnitude as to release the latch. An elastic connector acts on the closures in response to release of the latch to move the closures to their closed positions.
