Floating marine site survey device (1) comprising one or more survey sensors (8); a self-propulsion system (24) for propelling the device (1) through a body of water; and a deployable special mark (10) comprising two cross members (12), actuatable to switch between a deployed state where the two cross members (12) are in a crossed configuration for identifying the device as a special marker buoy and an undeployed state where the two cross members (12) are in a parallel configuration for identifying the device (1) as a vessel. The controller (22) controls the switching of the device (1) from a vessel mode to a buoy mode when the vessel is anchored, wherein the controller (22) switches the special mark (10) to the deployed state when the device (1) is in the buoy mode.
