I am intersted in buying some sort of "fishfinder" to help find some wrecks.
I however have little knowlege of what to look for.
Could you please tell me what you where using to get such good pictures?

Side Scan Sonar, gives me 800 feet per pass to view. Your typical "affordable" fish finder you will have to be on top of the wreck to see anything. There are a few that give you contouring and a bit of distance, most likely a good combination when used with a sidescan unit.

With the "hit" sans sidescan Dan and Harold got on Monday we're now at 27. Mostly scuttlings though but pretty interesting sites still.

We also found a couple of cars in the inner harbour, an anchor some practice bombing sites.

I am sure there are alot of divers out there who will agree with me when I say thank you for all the hard work/fun, you are putting into finding new dive sites. Wonderful job.

Is work the right word? Sounds like fun to me... :)

Tom, are you finding any interesting bottom (i.e. natural structures) at all or is it just flat with the exception of the wrecks.

Lots of ledges etc, around snake island, and some pretty deep holes of Howe Island with large bolders in them, this one can be access from shore.

GLUE club members along with POW have placed a mooring on the Monkey Wrench and I believe it's been used a couple of times. The Monkey Wrench has a very large sail winch on it. GLUE/POW will moor two more sites this month followed by a BBQ at NTD.

So there will be more diving in Kingston yet again.
