"As technology developed, we went from these very large, ungainly systems with very flimsy printouts to thermal paper, integrating position. Eventually you had a computer that interfaced with the sonar, and now everything appears on a computer screen." - Vince Capone About Vince Capone Vince started his underwater career in the mid-1970s as a certified NAUI advanced diver exploring the shipwrecks of New Jersey.
