</u></font><b>E<font size=4><i>very picture speaks a thousand words.
</b></font>We are all capable of absorbing large amounts of information
when presented visually. However, as divers will agree, water itself is
something of a barrier to conventional vision. These problems can be
overcome whether by using a glass-bottomed bucket, diving or the latest
in laser or acoustic seabed remote-imaging technology.<br>
<br>
</i>This symposium will bring together the diverse community (divers,
archaeologists, research scientists and commercial operators) that has
interest and expertise in visualizing the underwater environment, to
share our experiences and find out what's new and who's doing what.<br>

</b></font>The 5th SUT Underwater Science Symposium will review the state
of the art in visualizing the underwater environment. The programme seeks
to blend diving operations in shallow water with the use of remote
technologies in the deep sea. In particular the symposium will focus on
practical methods, such as high-definition photography, laser
technologies, holographic techniques, integrated seafloor visualization,
"living maps" and virtual dives and missions. A special preview
of the BBC Natural History Unit's new 8-part series on the oceans
"The Blue Planet" will be given, as well as talks on how the
programmes were made. There will also be an exhibition of the entries to
the BP-SUT Underwater Image Competition.<br>
