Underwater Search Newsletter
JW Fishers has
increased the size and scope of its popular newsletter Search
Team News. The
publication includes numerous articles on underwater search
operations performed by government agencies, commercial divers,
law enforcement agencies, and military units from around the
world. One section
of the newsletter titled “Law Enforcement and Dive Rescue
News” describes
the use of metal detectors, underwater cameras, and side scan
sonars by police, fire, and dive rescue units.
Another section describes the type of operations
performed by universities and government agencies using
underwater search equipment.
In the “Commercial News” section, the work of
commercial diving and marine services companies is detailed.
Their projects include tracking underwater pipes and
cables, locating lost ship anchors, and inspecting underwater
structures like dams and bridge supports.
One of the most widely read parts of the newsletter is
“Treasures Recovered”.
Here are the
exciting stories about recovering silver bars from sunken
Spanish galleons and finding priceless artifacts in the remains
of ancient sailing vessels.
The articles range from the projects of professional
treasure hunters searching for pirate booty, to the hunts of
weekend divers looking for lost rings and coins.
Many of these “treasure hunts” take place on beaches
and dive sites close to your own hometown, while others are in
exotic places half way round the world.
There is also a section titled “International
News” that chronicles the underwater work of overseas
companies and foreign governments. There are short excerpts describing who is using which type
of equipment for what kind of projects, like how a power company
in Ireland is using of an underwater camera system or why a
government agency in Thailand is using a side scan sonar system.
The back page of the newsletter has all the latest
company news from JW Fishers,
information on the newest products and technology for
underwater search operations, and contact info to submit a story
or to get more information on one of the articles.
There is also a “Customer Feedback” column where
e-mails and letters from customers are printed.
The most recent issue of the newsletter includes
articles about; a power company saving millions with the help of
an ROV, the discovery of a “virgin” treasure wreck in
Canadian waters, and how a mystery involving one of this
country’s deepest lakes was solved with an underwater camera.
