Abstract

A device for collecting lighter than water fluids escaping from an underwater source. The device (10) comprises collecting means (16) placed over the underwater source (12) for collecting the fluids (14) rising from the underwater source (12) due to gravity and a transfer tube (18) having a lower end (20) in communication with the collecting means (16) for transferring the collected fluids towards the surface. A submerged buffer reservoir (24) is maintained at a predetermined depth under the surface, the submerged buffer reservoir (24) being in communication with a upper end (26) of the transfer tube (18) for receiving the collected fluids. <IMAGE>
