      Thanks for posting those excellent images.   Will your wetsuit be getting LESS or MORE use now that you can see these items so clearly.   Enjoy your unit and continue to share.

Hi,
75 meters is very deep for SI and DI! Could this be thanks to CHIRP? Is it possible to toggle between CHIRP and no CHIRP with your unit? If it is, it would be interesting to see the difference between these modes.

Anwsers for all:(ont in order!!)
yes I will go diving!!
yet no towfish, with Solix each transducer have a separate ground (not as Helix) that mean bigger cable to fond!! but will go on to find wrecks, I get good informations,MEGA SIDe will help a lot, it is not too deep, and wood wreck, just need time , I have too many hobbies and no retry yet!
yes chirp improve results, the 2 last wrecks weren't visible as well with no chirp DI and side (too little wreck so deep)
