A system for aquatic seismic prospecting includes at least one submerged mobile seismic source for creating a disturbance transmitted through an aquatic medium in the form of waves and at least one cable having a plurality of sensors for collecting waves transmitted by the at least one submerged mobile seismic source and reflected from geological layers beneath the aquatic medium. The system also includes means for detecting and measuring the reflected waves and means for placing the at least one cable under tension, the tensioning means attached to ends of the at least one cable and the tensioning means keeping the at least one cable in a pseudo-stationary position. These is also means for holding the at least one cable at a substantially constant depth greater than approximately 5 meters.
