Default Off the wall question: Underwater plumb bob?

I am going to test some anchors on our August trip to the BVI. This is
the second test and I learned a lot on the first one about what to do to
make it more accurate. To measure the set distance I need some means of
marking exactly the location that the anchor was dropped. I am
invisioning some sort of pointed weight with a boyant shaft that can be
dropped as the anchor is released. A float on a line will also give me
a refference point for the next test so I can be sure each anchor lands
in similar bottom.

Anyone ever seen such a device or have a better idea?
