The present disclosure includes an underwater retrieval device for retrieving an underwater instrument. The device includes a buoyancy means, a cable reel, a controller configured to receive an external signal, a release mechanism in communication with the controller, and a locking mechanism configured to lock the cable reel. The locking mechanism can comprise a locking pin engageable with the cable reel, a locking lever biased in an unlocked configuration, and a lock for securing the locking lever in the locked configuration. There is also provided an underwater retrieval system that includes the underwater retrieval device and a rewinder device that can rewind the device without disassembly or replacement of parts. When the device receives the external signal, the controller sends a signal to the release mechanism, which releases the lock and unlocks the cable reel, which allows the device to return to the surface via the buoyancy means.
