I was helping someone with echosounder data, and noticed that the default col argument was oceColorsJet(). As a test, I changed it to oceColorsTurbo(), which is quite similar but (as far as I know) superior in some ways.
But maybe we ought to default it to oceColorsViridis(), similar to imagep(). What do you think, @richardsc? My feeling is that we ought to switch, for package consistency. NOTE: the change will get noted in the docs for that function, and in NEWS, if we decide to go ahead with it.
I would vote +0.75 for switching to oceColorsViridis(), partly because I've not heard users asking about echosounder for a long time, so it's not likely this is being used a lot. And, even if so, the change from jet to viridis would be obvious and the user would likely consult the help to find the change.
I'd like to settle this prior to a CRAN release. (The time to make the change is maybe 1/3 of the time it took to write this comment, so I figure we don't have to jump on this right away ... sometime in the next few weeks would be fine for @richardsc to chime in.)

Slow reply because I'm still on vacation, but I agree even just for consistency that we should be using viridis.
Ultimately the plot-echosounder,method is just an imagep() call, which should already have viridis as default, so probably this is a matter of removing the default of oceColorsJet from the col= argument.
