Abstract
An apparatus includes a streamer having one or more sensor holders for retaining seismic sensors therein. A housing is disposed about a sensor with a gel-like material disposed between the housing and the sensor, thereby decoupling the sensor from its surroundings. The housing is disposed in the sensor holder and the streamer is filled with either liquid or another gel-like material.
