  • 1.  Looking for actual sonar imagery of body recovery operations

    Posted 12-15-2021 05:11 PM

    Good afternoon all,

    Our friends at Raymarine are hoping to get some sonar imagery from actual body recovery cases for their research.  If anyone knows of any imagery from any system or manufacturer please reach out to joseph.abeyta@raymarine.com

    They are hoping for imagery not available on google searches or internet search engines.

    Thanks in advance

    V/R

    Dave

    We occasionally work with a local guy who has some incredible imagery.  I'll connect them.

    You might look at contacting Gene Ralston. He and his wife have helped many people and agencies in recovering more than 80 drowning victims. Certainly someone has his contact information.
