Hi i am new to the forum and i first introduce my self to the community, i am a professional diver and i started to think about make underwater maps of the dive sites of my area.
I am new to the SI Technology and i was pointed out in a different forum to this one, very good suggestion, after reading here i am now more clear on the way to go.
I do have some grey areas and i would like some help on it.
The main porpouse is to avoid lost of time and money, buying hardware not enough or too advanced for my scope. Basically I need to make 3D maps of dive sites around 45 meters of depth,import the date on a PC ( windows 7 ) and print it out, but if for examples the difference in price is not that much, going down to 60 or more meters would be great for some recovery missions.
I can home made hardware if is necessary as i am confident enogh with electronics.
Any help on my project will be very well appreciated and wellcome.
Have a good day

Stogazull, Welcome! There a lot Freeware on the net that can be used for SI and Bottom Mapping.
Some side scan and forward scan offer freeware on the web also.
