An apparatus and method for recovering equipment from within a body of water. The apparatus comprises a frame supporting a mesh and an engagement element. The engagement element is shaped to co-engage with the mesh and is attached to the equipment to be recovered prior to its deployment. Following deployment of the equipment, its recovery can be effected by lowering the mesh supported by the frame onto the equipment to cause the engagement element and the mesh to co-engage. The frame and mesh may then be lifted to the surface of the water bringing the equipment with them. Recovery may include searching for the equipment by monitoring a load associated with the frame and the mesh as it is lowered and raised at different locations, whereby an appropriate increase in load is taken to indicate that the equipment has become attached to the mesh.

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant la récupération d'équipement dans une masse d'eau. L'appareil comporte un cadre supportant un grillage et un élément d'accouplement. L'élément d'accouplement a une forme permettant l~accouplement au grillage et est attaché à l'équipement devant être récupéré avant son déploiement. Suite au déploiement de l'équipement, sa récupération peut être effectuée en abaissant le grillage supporté par le cadre sur l'équipement pour amener l'élément d'accouplement et le grillage à s'accoupler. Le cadre et le grillage peuvent alors être remontés à la surface de l'eau en entraînant l'équipement avec eux. La récupération peut comprendre la recherche de l'équipement par le contrôle d'une charge associée au cadre et au grillage quand ils sont abaissés et relevés en différents emplacements, une augmentation appropriée de la charge indiquant que l'équipement s'est attaché au grillage.
