ABSTRACT:
A primary supporting truss comprising a surface float supporting an anchor within a fluid medium, a subsurface float connected to the anchor and a weight connected to the subsurface float and the anchor is deployed by a drogue by engaging currents within the fluid medium. The drogue is connected to the subsurface float and devices are suspended between the anchor and the subsurface float in a horizontal position. Alternatively, the drogue may be connected to the weight and the devices may be suspended between the anchor and the weight. The apparatus may include a plurality of secondary supporting trusses, each comprising a subsurface float and a weight connected between the primary supporting truss and the drogue for supporting additional devices.
