The utility model relates to a deep-sea floor observation platform, which comprises a floating body frame and/or an observation frame of an open unit modular, and a counterpoise anchor system. An acoustics releaser which is fixed in the floating body frame or the observation frame is matched with and clutched by the counterpoise anchor system through the cooperation of a releasing hook, a cable sleeve of the releasing hook and the counterpoise anchor system which is fixedly provided with a counterpoise suspension loop. A cable sleeve of the releasing hook penetrates through the sleeve of the counterpoise suspension loop and is hung on the releasing hook which is in closed state, so the floating body frame or the observation frame is connected into integration with the acoustics releaser and the counterpoise anchor system and is anchored on sea floor. The cable sleeve of the releasing hook is departed from the releasing hook and the counterpoise suspension loop which are in open state, so the floating body frame or the observation frame departs from the acoustics releaser and the counterpoise anchor system. The total weight of the device is decreased under the condition of not decreasing the mechanical strength of the platform, and the deep-sea floor observation platform is convenient for observation work in deep-sea floor. The deep-sea floor observation platform can avoid the interference of external noise to a recording system, in order to realize multiple observation experiments in deep-sea floor by one platform.
