1. A self deployable apparatus for facilitating collecting data from multiple depths of water bodies, the self deployable apparatus comprising:
a main body comprising a first body portion and a second body portion, wherein the first body portion comprises a first interior space and the second body portion comprises a second interior space, wherein the first interior space is fluidly isolated from the second interior space, wherein the second body portion comprises a check valve;
at least two substances in at least two amounts are to be disposed in the second interior space, wherein the at least two amounts of the at least two substances add at least one weight to the main body for sinking the self deployable apparatus to at least one depth of at least one water body, wherein the at least two amounts of the at least two substances are configured for undergoing a thermochemical reaction at a temperature for producing at least one gaseous substance in at least one amount, wherein the at least two amounts of the at least two substances achieve the temperature based on the sinking of the self deployable apparatus to the at least one depth of the at least one water body, wherein the at least one amount of the at least one gaseous substance exerts at least one pressure on the check valve, wherein the check valve is configured for expelling at least one portion of the at least one amount of the at least one gaseous substance from the second interior space based on the at least one pressure exerted on the check valve, wherein the expelling of the at least one portion of the at least one amount of the at least one gaseous substance from the second interior space corresponds to removing at least one portion of the at least one weight from the main body, wherein the removing of the at least one portion of the at least one weight rises the self deployable apparatus to a surface of the at least one water body;
at least one sensor attached to the first body portion, wherein the at least one sensor is configured for generating at least one sensor data based on detecting at least one parameter of at least one water sample in the at least one depth of the at least one water body;
a storage device disposed in the first interior space, wherein the storage device is communicatively coupled with the at least one sensor, wherein the storage device is configured for storing the at least one sensor data; and
at least one power source disposed in the first interior space, wherein the at least one power source is electrically coupled with the at least one sensor and the storage device, wherein the at least one power source is configured for powering the at least one sensor and the storage device.
