Underwater Surveying at Diver Depth for Naval Installations - Nearshore.

Abstract

Special methods and novel equipment for diver survey in the nearshore zone were designed, tested, and used to conduct a seafloor construction survey at a site off Anacapa Island, California. Sea surface positions were determined and transferred to the seafloor where two permanent benchmarks were placed. The geodetic coordinates of these two benchmarks were determined. Seafloor traverse and layout were performed with the measurement of angles, distances, and relative elevations. (Author)
