Azulmar Research has designed
this course to allow it to operate in
most weather conditions. As a
result, there will be no refunds for
inclement weather conditions. If
severe weather or equipment
problems were to prevent
Azulmar Research from teaching
the course, make up days would
be scheduled as soon as possible.

the right to cancel or reschedule
any course. Enrollee’s will
receive a full refund if they are
unable to attend a rescheduled

Terms & ConditionsSide Scan SonarData InterpretationCourse
What to Bring?Students should come prepared to spend three
days on the water. The cornerstone of this
course is to collect real survey data against real
targets in real weather conditions. Therefore,
students should come dressed appropriately for
small boat operations. Dressed appropriately
means: comfortable clothing (jeans, shorts &
tee-shirt) and appropriate shoes (tennis shoes or
boat shoes). Students should bring with them a
foul weather jacket and a sweatshirt. It is not
uncommon for weather conditions to change
rapidly on the water. If a student is prone to
motion sickness, we recommend consulting
with a physician about preventative measures.
During the course, lunches and drinks will be
provided. If a student has a particular food
allergy or eating preference, please let us know,
we will be more than happy to accommodate
you.
Please Contact us with anyquestions.

Course Description
Azulmar Research, LLC has developed a Side
Scan Sonar course to teach students the
fundamentals of interpreting acoustic
imagery. Since the quality of side scan sonar
records is directly related to the conditions
under which it was collected, Azulmar
Research has dedicated a large portion of this
course to on-the-water collection activities
around a variety of manmade and geologic
features. Azulmar Research believes that the
best way to understand acoustic imagery is to
collect it and interpret it in a real world
environment. By interpreting data while it is
being collected, students will develop the
skills necessary to accurately interpret
complex acoustic records.
During this course students will survey a
variety of objects and geology in the Patuxent
River, Maryland.
