Abstract
This disclosure is concerned with using different types of energy to probe for objects in media (such as water) in which one of the different types (such as acoustic energy) is more facilely propagated than another (such as light), so as to enable said one type of energy to monitor for objects of predetermined characteristics within range of another type of energy propagation and, upon detection of such, to direct the other type of energy to indicate such objects, and enable correlation of the indications of the same by both types of energy.
