ABSTRACT:
The invention is a deployment system for a marine seismic source array. A plurality of sources are suspended at different depths from a float. The system is adapted for deploying the float and the sources into the water and retrieving them for reloading onto the vessel. When the float is positioned on the water surface the sources sink to preselected water depths. The sources are retracted to the underside of the float in the retrieval process.
