ABSTRACT:
A compact integrated marking buoy device which enables a person to easily mark a location on the seabed with a floating buoy. The buoy device includes a line control mechanism which enables the device, once placed in the water, to release the weight, to automatically pay out only sufficient line to connect the buoy at the surface to the weight at the seabed, and to prevent release of any excess line once the weight has reached the seabed. The device permits playing out of additional line once the level of tension on the line again exceeds the threshold. The device further allows for easy retrieval of the weight and line through means internal to the marking buoy.
