Scuba Divers Experience Annoying Pings of A Submarine’s Sonar
Scuba divers can be startled by the sound of a submarine’s sonar, which is extremely loud and can even be felt physically. The sonar produces pings that can be harmful to both divers and marine life. Sonar can reach an intensity of up to 140 decibels, and higher levels can cause serious injuries like lung ruptures and brain hemorrhaging. The noise may be so intense that divers can hear it while still on the boat. Awareness of these potential dangers is important for scuba divers.
