Proposed buoyant device attaches to object denser than water and adjusts to obtain neutral overall buoyancy. Conceived to aid training astronauts in handling "weightless" equipment in water tanks. Could be used to support marine environmental monitoring instrument at fixed predetermined depth. In marine salvage operation it holds parts at convenient depth before used or hoisted to surface. Device made in variety of sizes and shapes to suit objects to be supported. Could be equipped with such suitable attachment hardware as U-bolts, clamps, or cable ties. One or more such devices used to support object as necessary. Replaces plastic foam floats, which must be cut to size according to estimates of volume of foam that gives required amount of buoyancy. Device does not become waterlogged or release contaminating particles.
