A detangling device for severing a mooring line is disclosed. The device includes a line cutting assembly, which includes an ignition device, a propellant chamber, a moveable shuttle-knife assembly and a knife. The device further includes a pressure sensor, and a control system configured to monitor the pressure sensor and actuate the line cutting assembly when the monitored pressure sensor indicates a threshold depth is exceeded. The device can be a one-use device, wherein the knife breaks through a water-sealed housing to sever a mooring line when actuated.
