If it sinks... maybe it was dropped on a long line to detect thermal layers in the water?

If it floats... that's a bit trickier. Most small, important things on ships and boats have some precautions so they don't sink so it could be used for a number of things.

Seems a good explanation to me. One thing though, if they are sending it down 70m + wouldn't the reading change by the time it was yanked to the surface??
