Humminbird Side Imaging Sonar Training DVD
Black Laser Learning, USA, has released the 'Not in the Manual Guide' to Underwater Search OPS with Humminbird Side Imaging Sonar on DVD. This launch is in response to numerous requests for specialised training on the Humminbird sonar system by law enforcement and other marine search and rescue organisations across North America, particularly with respect to the difficult task of locating drowning victims.
Fish finders and echosounders have historically been used for this purpose, but they cover only a small area and produce down-looking profile images of structures that are not high quality resolution. And while more sophisticated sidescan sonar systems have been used with very good results, they can be expensive to buy and require special skills to operate. The Humminbird system provides a low-cost alternative, especially in low visibility conditions, plus it covers a wide swath area with good resolution, able to locate bottom structures, automobiles, boats and drowning victims. It is considered a staple of shallow water search operations.
The Not in the Manual Guide® to Underwater Search OPS with Humminbird Side Imaging Sonar DVD is approximately one hour long and offers expert narration and top-notch Hollywood-quality animations.
