The invention is a rapid deployment oil recovery apparatus (1) comprising a number of interconnected oil recovery sections, denoted as 1−n interconnected oil recovery sections (100) comprised of a fabric or flexible material. An oil accumulator (200) is distal from the breach and an oil interceptor (300) is secured at the breach. Compression tubes (500) at the outer circumference of an oil recovery section (100) seal a leak in the oil recovery section (100) and provide lift to the oil recovery section (100). The 1−n compression tubes (500) and the compression tube sections (550) are positioned by compression tube control lines (555). An air manifold frame (150) is within the oil interceptor (300) and is comprised of air manifold frame first section (153) and 1−n air manifold frame sections (155) comprising an air manifold (160) having an air manifold fluid supply (163). Buoys (700) retain the position of the rapid deployment oil recovery apparatus (1) by interconnection of a position retaining line (710) from the buoy (700). A fluid transmission tube (910) connects with a container vessel (900).
