ABSTRACT:
In a system for deploying an immersible unit by a cable from a floating platform, the cable deploys freely from a cable deployment unit until a comparator unit, which provides for variable depth control, activates an anchoring unit. Activating the anchoring unit causes a jacket external to the cable to be tightened about the cable, thereby gradually braking the descent of the cable deployment unit from which the cable is payed out.
