Abstract: The present invention is useful for dredging underneath a floating vessel, where a conventional dredge cannot reach the location of the material to be dredged. A neutral buoyancy pipe is attached to the end of the suction pipe and acts as an extension of the suction pipe. The vertical position of the neutral buoyancy pipe is controlled by adjusting the buoyancy of the neutral buoyancy pipe. The horizontal position of the neutral buoyancy pipe is controlled both by the anchoring system which sweeps the dredge back and forth and by a position adjusting system at the forward end of the neutral buoyancy pipe.
