On Friday, Jan. 26, 2007, a friend and former co-worker with the Placer County Sheriff’s Dept. called me to request assistance with a body recovery in Donner Lake, Truckee, CA. Both he and I served as members of the Placer County Sheriff Public Safety Dive Team for many years. According to reports, a man was ice skating on the frozen lake, struck his head during a fall, broke through the ice and drowned in approximately 185 FFW.

SeaBotix LBV systems depth rated to 300 meters are now available with the BlueView ProViewer series of multi-beam high definition sonars. Either the P450E (450KHz) or the P900E (900KHz) models are available. Other small ROVs are only able to offer the lower frequency P450E.
Use of the ProViewer enables an LBV operator/navigator clear high resolution images in black water conditions. The increased scan rate also helps to keep the image clear if the LBV is moving or if the object is moving. Mounted to an LBV tool skid the ProViewer is easily attached when needed.
