: Sub-bottom sonar is possible but you need a narrow beam, l

: The bulk of the signal is reflected from the water/mud int

: The electronic gubbins is where the clever bit of the diff

: Normal "fish finder" units work on too high a frequency an

: An internet search on "Sub-bottom profilers" will bring up
: a few hits with expanded technical information.
