Streamline Surveys with SonarWiz
SonarWiz by Chesapeake Technology streamlines the survey process and simplifies the number of software programs you need to learn. It operates with almost all sonar manufacturers, so you won't need to re-familiarize yourself with different software. SonarWiz interfaces with nearly all brands of commercially available sidescan sonar, sub-bottom profilers, magnetometers, echo sounders and bathymetric interferometers. Perpetual electronic licenses or hard dongles include one year of support. We rent and lease-to-own on a weekly and monthly basis.

Exceptional Support
The ExxonMobil Site Investigation team is impressed that Chesapeake was able to get SonarWiz training together for us in such a short time. We're also very impressed with Patrick Zynda. It was an outstanding course, he picked up all of our extra topics and questions with no problem. We appreciate his knowledge, technical expertise, and flexibility to work with us in an outdated software version. Thank you!

SonarWiz 8.0 Q1 2024
SonarWiz 8.0 will be released in time for OI 2024 in early March 2024 and will have several major new features and performance improvements. The ability to do cross sections on grids is highlighted here. Now all bathy enabled files and all grids that are enabled will be displayed when the cross section is launched. This makes it easy to compare between datasets.
