Performing a seismic survey in an aqueous medium is provided. A system can include a transfer device with a first vertical side and a second vertical side. The transfer device can include a chute to receive units. The chute extends from the first vertical side to the second vertical side. The chute has a first end at the first vertical side that is higher than a second end at the second vertical side opposite the first end to establish a first slope for the chute, which causes the units to slide from the first end towards the second end via gravity. The transfer device includes a retainer at the second end of the chute to be actuated by an arm of a first underwater vehicle that mates with the chute. The transfer device can be towed by a marine vessel via an unpowered rope.
