Depth detection device (5)

I believe the answer is:

sonar

(Other definitions for sonar that I've seen before include "location device" , "Means of detecting" , "Undersea sensing system" , "Device for detecting objects used in arson" , "Method of echolocation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
