Marine Technology TV interviews Marty Klein, the father of side scan sonar.

Marty Klein is considered by many to be the father of side scan sonar. The industry legend discusses several highlights from his long and fruitful career, from his involvement in helping to find the Titanic and other historic shipwrecks, to searching for the Loch Ness Monster.

Klein, a self-described “lifelong student,” says he’s always strived to continue learning while encouraging others to do the same. There are things to find, he says. There are mysteries still.
