   Sonar
   Sonar (SOund NAvigation and Ranging) is a simple way to detect wrecks. It uses sound pulses/echoes, it is inexpensive and can be fitted in small boats. Modern systems can be combined with GPS. A split-screen function allows for detail studies while keeping the overview. Some sonars are sediment-penetrating, revealing objects below the seabottom. Image from SMAS of a wreck.

   Sonar
   `SONAR` (`SO`und `NA`vigation and `R`anging)`or `sonar``is a technique that uses sound propagation under water to navigate, communicate or to detect other vessels. There are two kinds of sonar`active and passive. Sonar may be used as a means of acoustic location. Acoustic location in air was used before the introduction of radar. Sonar may also be used in air for robot navigation while SODAR (an upward looking in-air sonar) is used for atmospher...

    SONAR
    an acronym for sound navigation and ranging equipment. SONAR systems use sound waves to detect underwater objects by listening to the returning echoes. The distance to the object or the seafloor can be calculated by measuring the time between when the signal is sent out and when the reflected sound, or echo, is received.
