<p>A probe assembly ( 1 ) suitable for use with apparatus for use in the investigation and/or analysis of an underwater floor of a body of water such as, for example, a seabed. The apparatus includes a depth penetration device ( 10 ), and an underwater floor testing tool ( 11, 12 ). The probe assembly ( 1 ) includes a first coupling for operative Iy connecting the probe to the depth penetration device ( 10 ) and a second coupling for operatively connecting the probe assembly ( 1 ) to the underwater floor testing tool ( 11, 12 ). The probe assembly ( 1 ) further includes a signal processing module ( 5 ) for processing information from the tool, a data transmission module ( 2 ) for the transmission of data from the signal processing module ( 5 ), a power source ( 3 ) for operating the data transmission module ( 2 ) and the signal processing module ( 5 ) and a switch module ( 4 ) for selectively connecting from the power source ( 3 ) to the data transmission module ( 2 ) and signal processing module ( 5 ).</p> |
