Searching for Casualties and Divers


Locating people underwater is not as easy as you may think. Very often the simplest solution is to locate the sonar shadow and waypoint it, then drop a diver onto the shadow point and have him swim back towards the trackline on a perpendicular course.

Reefmaster Body
Software on site, such as Reefmaster, can make life considerably easier.
