Abstract

An anchor comprises a substantially non-conducting housing including a series of collet apertures; flexible strands; collets; and a water bed engaging part. Each collet is adapted to engage one of the flexible strands and secure it in a respective one of the collet apertures of the housing. The anchor formed such that when it is in use the water bed engaging part can be located on the bed of a body of water with the strands extending upwards for use in securing an item at or near the surface of the water, the strands being able to expand and contract lengthwise to resist breaking due to pulling of the item.
