This invention relates to a submerged buoy (1) consisting of: a housing (2) containing a receiver (4) of a radioacoustic signal; a mooring rope (11) with one end attached to a mooring point; a mechanism for releasing said buoy, allowing it to return to the surface; and a flotation reserve; said buoy being noteworthy in that the release mechanism (7) is of electromechanical type and is enclosed in a hermetically sealed tank (5) which thus forms the flotation reserve; said mechanism (7) controlling a catch (8) which either prevents or allows the free rotation of a winding drum (10) around which the mooring rope (11) is wound. This buoy may be used particularly for marking submerged objects such as fishing equipment, nets, fish pots etc., for controlling mooring sites in pleasure ports or even to mark off a sensitive area (such as around an underwater mine).
Submerged buoy comprising a casing containing a radioacoustic signal receiver, a mooring rope attached at one of its ends to a mooring point, a mechanism for releasing said buoy enabling it to rise to the surface, and a flotation reserve, the release mechanism being of the electromechanical type and being contained in a hermetically sealed tank thus constituting the flotation tank, said mechanism controlling a catch which either prevents or allows the free rotation of a winding drum around which the mooring rope is wound.
