Abstract: The disclosed device is a retrieval float for use during spear fishing and diving. The retrieval float allows a diver to send marine organisms that have been caught by various underwater methods to the surface. By eliminating the practice of securing catches to oneself for the duration of the dive, the retrieval float decreases the chances of dangerous encounters with underwater predators that are attracted to blood. A fish, lobster, abalone, or other marine organism is secured to the retrieval float and returned to the surface for a spotter boat to collect.
