The invention relates to a device (1) for determining the elongation of a connection (2) submerged in an aquatic environment between a first time t1 and a second time t2. According to the invention, the device comprises acoustic wave transmitting means (11) rigidly attached to the connection at a first position (111) on the connection (2), acoustic wave reflecting means (12) rigidly attached to the connection at a second position (121) on the connection (2), and receiving means (13) for receiving the acoustic waves reflected off the reflecting means (12), the receiving means being rigidly attached to the connection at the first position. According to the invention, the device comprises means for determining a first distance d1 between the first position (111) and the second position (121) according to the travel time of the acoustic waves at the first time t1 and a second distance d2 between the first position (111) and the second position (121) according to the travel time of the acoustic waves at the second time t2. According to the invention, the means for determining the first and second distances comprise at least one of the following means: - means for determining at least one value of the temperature of the aquatic environment; - means for determining at least one value of the salinity of the aquatic environment.
