Conventionally, when sightseeing or observing a relatively shallow sea layer from underwater, sightseeing or observation was done by wearing diving equipment or by using a submersible that can freely navigate underwater. However, the former method requires diving skills and physical strength, which makes it difficult for everyone to use, and it is also dangerous. Furthermore, in the latter case, there is a risk that if the submersible breaks down, it will sink to the bottom of the ocean, making rescue operations extremely difficult.

The operator in the offshore cockpit uses the propulsion device 45 to move the underwater observation device A to the destination point. Next, the air in the ballast tank 6 is removed and the diving body 1 is lowered (the state shown in FIG. 4). In this state, the operator on board the diving body 1 drives the screw 15 with the electric motor 14 and turns the rudder 16.
Operate to move underwater observation device A to any location,
It allows tourists to explore the underwater world. Diving part body 1
Needless to say, when the diver is descending, the operator in the pilot seat 26 of the float section 2 and the operator of the submersible section main body 1 communicate with each other to avoid danger.

潜水部本体1を浮上させるには上記操作の逆を行う。To float the submersible section main body 1, the above operation is performed in reverse.

The sinking depth of the diving section main body 1 will never exceed the depth allowed by the sinking depth regulating device 3. Therefore, even if the buoyancy adjustment mechanism including the ballast tank 6 of the submersible body 1 fails, the submersible body 1 will not sink to the seabed, and its rescue can be performed relatively easily.

In the above embodiment, the sedimentation depth regulating device 3 has a link structure, but it is of course possible to use a wire lobe or the like.

In addition, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 4, a winch device 47 is provided on the connecting beam 20 of the float section 2, and the ten ends of the wire rope 48 pulled out from the group are connected to the submersible section main body 1. If the winch device 47 is used to pull up the submersible section main body 1 when the buoyancy adjustment mechanism 1 breaks down, rescue can be carried out extremely easily.

If the depth of the diving body 1 is adjusted by the winch device 47 when the diving body 1 is lowered for underwater sightseeing, the depth adjustment of the diving body 1 can be adjusted from the cockpit 46 of the diving body 1. Since this can be done more quickly than depth adjustment using the ballast tank 6, it is possible to quickly avoid rocks and other obstacles during underwater sightseeing.

Above, an embodiment of the underwater observation device of the present invention for sightseeing with several people on board has been described. However, the underwater observation device of the present invention is a small-sized one in which the main body of the diving section can be carried by one or two people. Of course, this can also be used for observing farmed fish and shellfish.

(Effects) In any case, although the underwater observation device according to the present invention allows sightseeing or observation of the shallow sea layer from underwater without wearing diving equipment, it is possible to avoid failure of the buoyancy adjustment mechanism of the main body of the diving section. However, the main body of the submersible is suspended from the float section by the sinking depth regulating device and is maintained in the shallow sea layer without sinking to the seabed, making rescue easy and extremely safe underwater sightseeing and observation.
