Side-scan sonar (also sometimes called side scan sonar, sidescan sonar, side imaging sonar, side-imaging sonar and bottom classification sonar) is a category of sonar system that is used to efficiently create an image of large areas of the sea floor.
Uses
Side-scan sonar may be used to conduct surveys for maritime archaeology; in conjunction with seafloor samples it is able to provide an understanding of the differences in material and texture type of the seabed. Side-scan sonar imagery is also a commonly used tool to detect debris items and other obstructions on the seafloor that may be hazardous to shipping or to seafloor installations by the oil and gas industry. In addition, the status of pipelines and cables on the seafloor can be investigated using side-scan sonar. Side-scan data are frequently acquired along with bathymetric soundings and sub-bottom profiler data, thus providing a glimpse of the shallow structure of the seabed. Side-scan sonar is also used for fisheries research, dredging operations and environmental studies. It also has military applications including mine detection.

Humminbird MEGA Side Imaging Explained
New from Humminbird for 2017 is their MEGA Imaging products available on the SOLIX and Helix SI models. MEGA stands for Megahertz (MHz). Sonar frequency is usually measured in kilohertz (kHz) but now that Humminbird is using a frequency of over 1000 kHz they have entered the MHz range (1000kHz = 1MHz). The MEGA imaging sonar works at 1.150 - 1.275 MHz and offers high detail short range Side Imaging sonar.

JWFishers Side Scan Sonar
Side scan sonar is one of the most effective tools for underwater exploration because it can search a large area quickly and produce a detailed picture of anything on the bottom, regardless of water clarity.
JW Fishers sonars represent a major price/performance breakthrough in low-cost side scan systems. Fishers offer two different frequency side scan systems; the SSS-600K or the SSS-1200K and a dual frequency system consisting of both frequencies.
The SSS-600K side scan produces excellent resolution images when scanning with a 10 meter to 75-meter range setting. The SSS-600K is great for law enforcement, dive rescue operations or any operation that requires a high-resolution image. Soft targets such as drowning victims, evidence recovery and bottom mapping are various capabilities.

The SSS-1200K is produces very high-resolution images at ranges up to 25m (50m swath). This very high frequency sonar can show very small, and very soft targets in high detail. The limitation of the 1200K is only it's shorter range as compared to lower frequency side scans.

Almost all fish finders today come with side scan yet very few anglers fully understand what they looking at in side scan mode.
This video goes in depth to show you how to read side scan sonar on your fish finder and understand how to find fish using your side scan as well as understanding the proper settings to get the most out of your fish finder while using side scan.
Lowrance Product Expert Jacob Scott walks through the basic settings, set up and interpretation of Active Imaging SideScan.
Check out this breakdown Active Imaging Color Palettes, Contrast settings, the SideScan screen, plus tips on identifying fish, navigating back to a waypoint saved to the side of your boat, plus sonar interpretation tips on recognizing bottom composition, laydowns and how far fish are from the bottom.
Active Imaging SideScan delivers views of structure and cover at a new level of refined detail up to 150 feet to each side of the boat. The high-level clarity, target separation and detail of Active Imaging will help you find more fish by making it easier to quickly identify fish-holding structure like rockpiles, standing timber, weedbeds, ditches and drop-offs.
Active Imaging is available as a 3-in-1 transducer with CHIRP, SideScan and DownScan Imaging or as a 2-in-1 transducer with SideScan and DownScan Imaging for anglers that already have a CHIRP transducer installed on their boat.

New from Humminbird for 2017 is their MEGA Imaging products available on the SOLIX and Helix SI models. MEGA stands for Megahertz (MHz). Sonar frequency is usually measured in kilohertz (kHz) but now that Humminbird is using a frequency of over 1000 kHz they have entered the MHz range (1000kHz = 1MHz). The MEGA imaging sonar works at 1.150 - 1.275 MHz and offers high detail short range Side Imaging sonar.

In this video I take a quick trip to the lake to go over some of the cool features of Side Vu. While I'm using a Garmin Echomap UHD 93SV in this video, most fish finders with side imaging/scanning capability will have these functions.

The Garmin Ultra High-Definition Scanning Sonar System provides both Ultra High-Definition ClearVü and Ultra High-Definition SideVü scanning sonar to let you clearly see everything below and to the sides of your boat.
Side scan sonar is one of the most effective tools for underwater exploration because it can search a large area quickly and produce a detailed picture of anything on the bottom, regardless of water clarity.
JW Fishers sonars represent a major price/performance breakthrough in low-cost side scan systems. Fishers offer two different frequency side scan systems; the SSS-600K or the SSS-1200K and a dual frequency system consisting of both frequencies.
The SSS-600K side scan produces excellent resolution images when scanning with a 10 meter to 75-meter range setting. The SSS-600K is great for law enforcement, dive rescue operations or any operation that requires a high-resolution image. Soft targets such as drowning victims, evidence recovery and bottom mapping are various capabilities.
The SSS-1200K is produces very high-resolution images at ranges up to 25m (50m swath). This very high frequency sonar can show very small, and very soft targets in high detail. The limitation of the 1200K is only it's shorter range as compared to lower frequency side scans.
How to select, adjust, and use imaging sonars of most types. This lecture was created for First Responders but can be used by anyone who would like to improve the quality of their sonar imaging and understand the differences between most types of commonly used sonars to locate objects on the sea floor.

Side-scan sonar (also sometimes called side scan sonar, sidescan sonar, side imaging sonar, side-imaging sonar and bottom classification sonar) is a category of sonar system that is used to efficiently create an image of large areas of the sea floor.
Uses
Side-scan sonar may be used to conduct surveys for maritime archaeology; in conjunction with seafloor samples it is able to provide an understanding of the differences in material and texture type of the seabed. Side-scan sonar imagery is also a commonly used tool to detect debris items and other obstructions on the seafloor that may be hazardous to shipping or to seafloor installations by the oil and gas industry. In addition, the status of pipelines and cables on the seafloor can be investigated using side-scan sonar. Side-scan data are frequently acquired along with bathymetric soundings and sub-bottom profiler data, thus providing a glimpse of the shallow structure of the seabed. Side-scan sonar is also used for fisheries research, dredging operations and environmental studies. It also has military applications including mine detection.
“The side broke off from the rest of the hull at the ‘turn of the bilge,’” O’Shea said ... Vidler said there are plans to go out on the lake in the spring to search with side-scan sonar to see if more of the ship can be found in the area.
These areas were selected following extensive geological and sediment analyses using advanced technologies like side scan sonar and seismic imaging.For the Mandovi river, scientific studies revealed ...
Those include helicopters, drones, hull-mounted side scan sonar, towfish side scan sonar, the Search and RescueDive team, ground searchers, K-9 searchers, a high resolution camera on a pole and a remote control vehicle.
“The side-scan sonar system that Mark and I put together and put on these vessels has been really important in finding these artifacts because if you went diving, you wouldn’t be able to see anything,” Backstrom said.
