ABSTRACT:
An apparatus to remotely control the depth in the water of a marine cable, such as a streamer of seismic geophones or hydrophones towed behind an exploration boat during seismic surveys of submerged formations, and maintain the cable at a desired depth. The depth at which the cable is maintained may be remotely adjusted for a range of selected depths. A new and improved attaching mechanism for attaching the depth control apparatus to the cable is provided.
