1 hr confidence:   depth sounder
Explanation:
I think the first term refers to the sounder, the way it is pronounced in Arabic. Still can't find any reference to the second term in English.

Lead line / sounding pole
Early hydrographic surveys consisted of depths measured by sounding pole and hand lead line with positions determined by three-point sextant fixes to mapped reference points. Lead lines were ropes, or lines, with depth-markings and lead-weights attached that were lowered and read manually. Lead lines and sounding poles were a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. While the initial depth soundings may have been accurate, they were limited in number, and thus, coverage between single soundings was lacking.

I browsed many relevant sites but couldn't find any term that sounds even remotely close to the Arabic term اسكنديل
