Abstract
Apparatus for towing a surface buoy or float, in particular a reference position buoy (1), from a marine seismic streamer (4) being adapted during operation to be immersed in the sea. The towing takes place by a means of a length of cable or the like (5A,5B) being attached to a section of the streamer and to the surface buoy respectively. At an intermediate portion of the length of cable (5A,5B) there is provided a weight or deflector device (2) being adapted during towing to impose an angular deviation of the length of cable so that the direction thereof downwards (5A) and upwards (5b) from the weight or deflector device (2), forms a mutual angle (Vb) differing significantly from 180.degree.. The point of attachment (3) at the streamer is located at an active section (4) thereof.
