“It did a great job of explaining the settings of the hummingbird helix and how to optimize it for SAR!  We needed this badly and cannot wait to get out on our boat and make the changes!”

What am I really looking at???

Crafted for the SAR professional, this video includes full chapters on how to identify a sonar image of a drowning victim, optimize search patterns and mark contacts for hand-off to dive teams.  The program explains how sonar images are generated, which objects reflect more strongly than others, why objects can appear to be where they are not, and how to tell if an object is actually on the bottom.  Plus, if you’re new to the system, the video provides step-by-step instruction on how to set up and operate the HELIX® unit.

“Great DVD!!” – Captain of a local fire rescue dive team.
