The pipe is held at the surface by a guide device, preferably on a floating float support. The link includes at least one stabilizer situated in the top portion of the pipe. The link is arranged so that the bottom portion of the float zone, is preferably on or level with the lowest float and a transition zone is between the floats and the substantially constant diameter portion of the pipe.
