These side sonar scanning devices seem pretty cool for finding things. I wonder how good a resolution they provide?

Here's a link to some sample images. These guys found the B-29 in Lake Mead using it - granted that's a pretty big plane. http://www.indepthconsulting.com/Sonar/Samples1.htm

It is amazing what technology can do. That is really neat.

Interesting, never heard of them being used to search for drowning victims.
Wonder what the costs involved with the equipment are?

That's pretty amazing. I bet this system cost a bunch. IT would be cool for planning your dive though. I bet we are looking at a whole new evolution in under water recovery.

They're not cheap, basic units start around $20K.
