Who this course is for:
The course is designed for individuals, public safety organizations (Law Enforcement Dive Teams, Fire Rescue Marine Units, SAR Teams, PSD Teams) and Non-profit Recovery Organizations that are conducting underwater search and recovery operations using transit-mounted sonars or side-scan sonars.
What you can expect to learn:
- Structured training focused on sonar with practical applications both in the classroom and on the water, operating your own sonar.
- Gain a deeper familiarity confidence using your transit-mounted sonar (Lowrance, Humminbird, Garmin) or side scan sonar system (EdgeTech, Klein, Marine Sonic, JW Fishers)
- Basic and Advanced settings to optimize sonar imaging
- Sonar image interpretation and techniques for enhancing quality
- Deeper understanding of environmental factors that impact on sonar operations and image quality
- Advanced sonar mission planning for effectiveness
What’s in it for you and your team?
You will walk away with more confidence individually and in your teams’ ability to effectively, efficiently and successfully conduct a sonar search.
Why is this important?
The inability to effectively utilize sonar presents risks, including compromised team safety, operational delays during searches, and the potential loss of valuable equipment. These factors severely limit mission effectiveness and hinder the ability to deliver expected results to affected families and communities.
