1. A station for deep-water research comprisinga float module;

  • a ballast weight;

    a flexible link connecting said float module with said ballast weight;

    a release for said flexible link;

    a hydroacoustic channel to control said release;

    at least one instrument package;

    a cantilever rod on which said instrument package is secured, said cantilever rod being freely mounted on said float module for free movement away therefrom during submergence and upon application of hydrodynamic resistance to the movement of said rod;

    an elastic rope connecting said cantilever rod with said float module; and

    means disposed on said rod for creating a directed hydrodynamic resistance to the movement of said cantilever rod during submergence in a water mass,said means providing the hydrodynamic resistance to be directed to cause separation and movement away from the path of said float module, andwherein said means to create hydrodynamic resistance is disposed in the form of a cross-shaped stabilizer arranged on an end of said cantilever rod at an angle thereto.
