Technology.......sheesh!

This is an image of the Sydney Harbour bottom. Captured by sonar.
A few wrecks turned up that no-one even knew about, also a massive cable under the bridge that is a mystery.

Who needs to get wet with this kind of technolgy.Underwater Survey may be a thing of the past.





Legend.

Some of the harbour pearls unearthed by sonar: A - The deepest point in the harbour, at 44 metres; B - At least four new shipwrecks found in this area; C - Mysterious cable or chain, possibly lost during construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge; D - The Harbour Tunnel; E - Boat wreck found between the Opera House and Circular Quay.

Yeah - but will we be allowed to dive on them? Never really thought about diving in the harbour - snorkelled in it once and the visibility was all of 5 feet. But that was near Kirribilli - not surprised that there was some muck in the area :D
