The Best high resolution depth sounder

[Manos]

I am looking for THE VERY BEST high resolution depth sounder that I can get. Money is no object.

I need it for locating wrecks for diving.

Any ideas any one?

Thanks

I use a Lowrance LCX-25C. It shows up our nice little wooden schooners here in the Great Lakes beautifully. Plus you get a nice plotter too...

Money no object? Are you really sure???

What you want is a nice towed array sidescan - something like this.

Or even better these British systems.

if you are talking about more conventional then remember the transducer is more important than the head unit. The transducer I was after turned out to be £5000 on it's own for my Raymarine!!!

Damn, If I had one of those, I wouldn't even need to get in the water... I'd just putt around all day sipping a wobbly-pop looking for old boats...

I want one i would just have to sell the boat to buy one. BUt heck stoo finding them is only half the fun the other half is diving it.

Ya, I suppose... But you have "stuff" in your water. I just have mud, rocks, more mud... On the other hand, our wrecks last a long time...

Thanks giys
@ cod ... I know that I have a big boat .... but is not an exploration vessel

Lowrance LCX range no question. 110c has excellent quality 10.4 inch screen.

Hey Manos
Reson Seabat should do you nicely

used one of the earlier versions of this to find a lost sensor in the bottom of Plymouth sound and it was only 1m x 10cm x 10 cm.
You starting another side line or is this just for pleasure ?
good luck
James
