Echo Sounders

Echo sounders are devices used to measure the depth of water by emitting sound waves downward into the water. When these sound waves hit the seafloor or an object, they bounce back to the device. The echo sounder calculates the distance based on the time it takes for the sound waves to return. This information helps in navigation, mapping the seafloor, and locating underwater features or objects. They are widely used in marine navigation, fishing, and scientific research to understand underwater environments accurately and efficiently.
