A method of installing a production buoy at a subsea anchoring location comprises floating a production buoy over a subsea anchoring location; hanging at least a tether off the production buoy such that the or each tether extends from the production buoy towards the subsea anchoring location; and submerging the production buoy to a depth which allows connection of the or each tether to the subsea anchoring location. The step of securing the or each tether to the subsea anchoring location comprises tilting the production buoy to one side in order to submerge said one side at a deeper depth to secure a pair of tethers at the one side of the production buoy to corresponding subsea anchoring foundations at said one side of the production buoy, and then tilting the production buoy to the other side in order to secure a pair of tethers at the other side of the production buoy to corresponding subsea anchoring foundations at that other side of the production buoy.
