Side scan sonar works like an underwater radar and is the best tool in existence for locating submerged items as small as a 5 gallon bucket. Regardless of visibility in the water the sound pulses penetrates hundreds of meters to each side of the sonar tow fish. An incredibly accurate and high-resolution picture of the seabed and any objects lying upon it is displayed on a computer screen. Massive areas can quickly and efficiently be surveyed.
