Deflectors (400) configured to be attached to cables (410) towed behind a vessel for performing a marine survey and associated methods are provided. A deflector has a body (420) including a wing portion (430) and a knuckle portion (440). The wing portion has substantially flat wings (432,434) extending away from a position where the body is attached to the cable. The knuckle portion (440) is configured to attach the wing portion to the cable so that the wing portion remains able to rotate about three rectangular axes while being towed underwater.
