The device is particularly suitable for cleaning and inspecting the nodes of an underwater structure having several branches 1, 2, 3, 4. The device comprises an annular support formed by two rings (5) connected by cross-pieces (6) and capable of being positioned around one branch of the structure. It also comprises, on the annular support, a mobile carriage (7) which carries a tubular component (8) supporting a mobile tool-holding arm (9), extending along at least one direction parallel to the axis of the annular support. A tool support (10), on which a tool (11) is mounted, is attached to the end of the arm (9) so that it can swivel. <IMAGE>
