1. A submergible device comprising:
a body including a top, a bottom spaced from the top, and a sidewall extending between the top and the bottom and defining an enclosed interior cavity extending between the top, the bottom, and the sidewall;
a first aperture formed in the sidewall proximate the bottom and extending from the enclosed interior cavity to an exterior of the device;
an additional first aperture formed in the sidewall proximate the bottom and opposite the first aperture, and extending from the enclosed cavity to an exterior of the device;
a second aperture formed in the sidewall proximate the top and extending from the enclosed interior cavity to an exterior of the device,
a peripheral wall extending upwardly about a portion of the top and defining a seat, the second aperture being formed in the peripheral wall; and
a recess extending inwardly from an outer surface of the sidewall and including a bottom surface and a rear wall extending upwardly and inwardly from a rear edge of the bottom surface;
wherein the apertures are positioned such that when the device is placed in a body of water, water will flow into the interior cavity through the first aperture and the additional first aperture, air will be forced out of the second aperture, and the device will sink to a bottom of the body of water in an upright position.
