Abstract There is disclosed an anchor for use in a subsea environment. In at least one embodiment, the anchor comprises a body having a portion configured capable of supporting, at least in part, a device. The anchor further comprises a guard means associated with the body and configured so that a portion of the guard means is provided more distal of the body than a portion of the device. In this manner, the arrangement seeks to reduce a risk of the portion of the device becoming subject to interference during handling of the anchor. In another embodiment, a method of use of the described anchor is also disclosed.
