A device for lowering a load for example a diving bell from a vessel from a spot above the water line to a spot beneath the water line, comprising a winch and a cable connected with the load and moved by said winch along at least one cable pulley rotatable about a shaft. In order to prevent that the cable becomes alternately slack and taut during contact of the load with the water, it is proposed to constantly maintain the taut state of the cable by placing the shaft of the pulley parallel to itself and connecting it with the plunger rod of a plunger cylinder provided with an accumulator.
