Humminbird Sonar Technician
2026-09-23 08:00 - 2026-09-24 17:00
OBJECTIVE
This program was developed for Law Enforcement, Fire, and Water Rescue Teams who utilize Humminbird sonar. These cost effective systems provide First Responders with an affordable solution for underwater search operations. The system features the same style imagery as traditional side scan sonar systems and requires many of the same image interpretation skills required for towed sonar systems. This program will guide you through the setup, use, and limitations of these side imaging sonars. The program also provides imagery of drowning victims and victim surrogates for comprehensive training. This program will inexpensively let your team get the most from of your system.
