A system is taught for collection of ocean and seabed data from a moving vessel. The system includes a modular free fall probe for collecting data and a winch system including a drum. A line puller maintains tension on the drum when the probe impacts the seabed and a controller controls rotation of the drum for retrieval of the probe. A method is also taught for collecting ocean and seabed data from a moving vessel by first deploying a probe along a line from a moving vessel and then allowing the probe to free fall through a water body until it impacts a seabed. A line puller is engaged to maintain tension on the drum during free fall and at impact. The line feed is terminated and the line puller is disengaged after impact of the probe with the seabed and the probe is extracted from the seabed by action of the moving vessel. The line is then winched back to retrieve the probe, which is then maintained in a towed position for further deployment.
