An apparatus (2) for inserting a cable (4) into a trench (12) in the seabed (6) in shallow water is disclosed. The apparatus (2) comprises a body (8) for supporting the cable (4) and a chain cutter (10) for forming a trench (12) in the seabed (6) for receiving the cable (4). Tracks (14) enable the apparatus (2) to move relative to the seabed (6) to enable the chain cutter (14) to form the trench (12), and an air eduction system (20) directs air into water in the trench (12).
