An important recent development in marine seismic data acquisition is the introduction of the Gemini technique (Newman, 1983, Haskey et al., 1983). The technique involves the use of a single Sodera water gun as a reference source together with the conventional air gun or water gun array which is fired a second or two after firing the reference source. The near‐field pressure signature radiated by the reference source is monitored continuously. The main advantage of the Gemini technique is that a shallow high;resolution section is recorded simultaneously with that obtained from the main array.
