  • Diving with Stuart Cove’s in Nassau, Bahamas at the Pumpkin patch. We heard a high pitched squeal. It startled our guide. The squeal could be heard on the surface also. Not sure if it was submarine or not. If you have any idea let me know in the comments.

      The thing is active sonar is rarely used, as it advertises where you are to the whole ocean. I have to wonder what is going on to get two pings so close together.

      I've heard that getting pinged by active sonar in a submarine is one of the most terrifying things you can ever experience if it happens at close range. Don't know if it's true, but I've heard it. Makes the whole sub vibrate or something.

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
      Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

    Hearing sounds underwater is freaky.
    I was snorkeling in Hawaii and went a fair ways out with a few other people. I dove down to look at the fish and as I was about halfway down I heard a bunch of whale calls. It sounded like it was coming in from every direction. I knew what they were but it really freaked me out. It was an instant reminder that I was not alone, and that the blue void I saw when I looked out, stretched out further than I could comprehend.

    If it was actually a sub, you wouldn't have heard sonar. Subs do NOT casually "Yankee-search". Surface-ships, on the other hand, do it rather frequently. THAT was definitely a surface sonar, have heard that too many times. Being afraid of sonar isn't a bad thing, as at high power, it can F you up if you're in the water. Cruisers use it to prevent underwater approaches while anchored-out overseas.

      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

    Love it!! Yeah, you got pinged. Actually, the DESTROYER that went active was probably a good bit away from you, since sound propagates through water for a long ways. The tones you heard and the changes in frequency and pulse are familiar to any sailor on today's USN destroyers since this can be heard throughout the ship's hull whenever we go active. If she was closer that sonar can mess you up. In port we can use it for antidiver purposes since anyone trying to get close to us underwater would FEEL it and come up with one button push.

Made the mistake of turning the emitter face on and immediately became very disoriented with unbelievable pain in my ears and head. I didn't have to move it away, my arm collapsed moving it away. It took a couple of minutes or more before my head cleared up and I knew what was happening to me. Crazy stuff man. That was very low power compared to what would be used in the water.

    This sound would also have scared the absolute hell out of me. From what I have read, the active systems on military vessels can easily turn your body into literal pulp at close range. According to one source I have read (which I was not able to verify as I am not a Navy person - so take that with a huge pinch of salt, since this is the internet), a full power blast from a sonar near the surface can even boil the water immediately around the sonar array. I do not know if there is any way to differentiate between active sonar from a submarine compared to active sonar from a surface ship. The distance is also a question mark I think - could be a very low power ping from relatively close by, like a couple of miles - or one very high powered one from hundreds of miles away. Either way, I am pretty sure they were not specifically pinging you. But is am sure there are people way more competent and knowledgeable than myself who can weigh in on this.
    Little fun fact / useless trivia: the "man down" warning on a SCBA device used by firefighters produces a similar earsplitting sound, including the alternating frequencies, b/c sound waves are also affected by thick smoke. Those warning devices usually go off after about 30 seconds (or when the alarm button is pressed). This is btw why on TV you sometimes see firefighters shake a little black box (usually attached to an air hose somewhere around the shoulder) or jump up and down occasionally, if they are in full gear. Some devices also emit a low volume pre-warning for a few seconds before they start screaming bloody murder in your ear..

    Another fine product from unisys. They made most of the sonar/weapons control/radar systems for the Navy.
    I was in the anechoic chamber a few times where they tested certain systems. It was deafening to hear your own blood surging thru your body.
    Unisys developed the doppler radar which the original project waa canceled and then it was sold to NOAA.
    They also invented the laser ring gyro used for inertia navigation systems on subs, so sensitive thT it could detect the earths wobble later sold to Singer to be used onboard missiles. So many other technologies they developed that are still classified to this day.
    It was funny that a friend of mine who worked at Unisys had to go onboard a sub for some upgrades and all the gauges were covered up. He laughed and said to the MPs who were with him aboard the boat, "you do realize that we BUILT these systems. I have top secret clearance, so i already know how fast and how deep this thing goes."

    I remember being out snorkling once, I was in a vertical position with my old scubapro jetfins, sticking out at a 90 degree angle in the water column (the good super responsive natural rubber kind, now vintage), they must have been at a depth of about 1.7 metres. All of a sudden they start vibrating like crazy, to where I can feel it all the way up my lower leg. There was no nearby sound in particular, my head being out of the water, but as I look out across the strait I can see a huge private motor boat crossing perhaps a mile, maybe half a mile out. Only thing I could think of was that somehow my fins must have been at about a depth where the vibration of the propeller somehow made the fins quiver in phase. It’s a place where bigger ferries cross all the time as well, so It could have been one of those, that I didn’t notice or which was out of sight. Super weird experience anyway. The only other thing I can think of is some kind of muscle spasm that transferred into the fin, but I’m a former competitive swimmer and I’ve been diving and spearfishing for more than 20 years and never had a muscle response even vaguely resembling that odd vibrating feel, plus it was both fins (and legs). It’s a place where it’s not entirely inconceivable that subs could very occasionally pass, in the deep part of the strait but what that would do I don’t know, the water would have been like just 3-5 m of deep where I was.

    I'm starting to understand that sound and vibration can be much more deadly than hot projectiles.

    This must be so scary.
    While your vision makes you think the place you're in is pretty small (due to the water fog),
    your hearing clearly shows you're in a vast open space.
    and you cant even pinpoint the direction of the sound, it just comes from all sides

    Active sonar pings can reach up to more than 120km under water. Legit crazy and terrifying as the stronger the sonar ping can lead to trauma and huge hearing loss and can cause damage to your lungs.
    Also the fact sonars can boil water if they put more power to them

      most sonars boil the water within a few feet of them, plus 120km is inaccurate, its closer to 300 miles away that it can still melt melt u basically from the vibration

    1:35 That is the type of shark that I saw as a kid next to Catalina Island it was swimming above the ground like that. Me and my church friend Bill swam as fast as we could back to the boat just to have the pastor Bruce laugh at us and tell us we had nothing to worry about that they were nurse sharks and would like how we taste. xD

    Sound travels well in thick fog too, ships blowing horns, ringing bells, the rumbling of the engines, all sound very close.
    I was in a fog so thick, I couldn't make anything out after five feet. Terrified sailor on a 26 foot sailboat caught in thick fog.

      That's why you blow the fog horn every 2 minutes staggering a few seconds to avoid accidentally signaling at the same time as other ships.
