German term

Abtauchen

German to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) Maritime Recording Equipment

sink

Having read the context via some of your other questions. It seems that this is a data recorder that is designed to stay on the surface, in the event that the ship (to which it attached) sinks. - a kind of marine 'black box'
