I am in the planning phase for diving with an active source, specifically a series of underwater robots that track each other. I would like to be in the water with them to observe their actions but I want to mitigate as much risk as possible. The robots’ sonar transmits in the 17-34 kHz range with a maximum source power of 65W. I am looking for information regarding what SPL is safe for divers in the 17-34 kHz range. My intention is to calculate the range from the robots that is safe and to ensure that I maintain that distance from the robots while they are in a mode that could result in them transmitting. Any tables, articles, links or other relevant information would be much appreciated. Thank you for your help!
