ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus wherein an aquatic device tethered by a single line provides an accentuated zigzag or oscillating movement when the device has a relative speed with respect to water. The device may be either buoyant or submergible. The device has a frame, a pair of pintles, a tow or retrieval structure for connection to a line, and a bi-stable guidance vane which snaps from port to starboard to port and so on to cause the device to produce a zigzag pattern from right to left to right and so on, without electrical control or power. Alternative embodiments are illustrated which incorporate a forward mouth-like structure which directs water alternatively across one major surface of the device and then the other, without requiring the pintles of the first embodiment.
