Instead of jumping into the deep end, we had an expert, Mr. Engel of the sales company FURUNO Germany, accompany us to show all the functions and features of the sonar.
So, we had a sonar to test, but what boat were we going to use? Thankfully, Mr. Heinz Campestrini of the water rescue at Attersee was our captain and took us out on the “Elisabeth“.
It was pretty cold and
a little bit windy, but the landscape was incredibly beautiful; there
was some fog and clouds which made the Attersee look like a lake in a
horror movie. A little creepy, but a great scene to be exploring in.
Mr. Engel explained to
us how the sonar worked and how we could use it to measure dive
spots. The best way to learn is by doing, so we started somewhere in
the lake and analyzed the recorded data. Then we went to the
Schlierwand, a well-known dive site at Attersee which is also
featured in our application Attersee Scuba Diving.
After hours of
measuring and testing the equipment, our exploration to Attersee was
over and we went back to the office.
There, our developers and
technicians took a look at the recorded measuring data and had a
de-briefing with Mr. Engel to conclude if this is a potential tool
for us to use in the future.
Our media guy and
photographer accompanied the explorers on the expedition to capture
the pictures which are featured in this blogpost!
We love keeping you up to
date with new stuff here and look forward to our next exploration. In
the meantime, check out our Attersee Scuba diving app with the top
