Bathymetric mapping derived from remote sensing have been carried out researchers, in order to determine the depth of the shallow waters especially sallow water depth. Bathymetric relief map shows the earth/terrain depicted by contour lines is called the isobath. Usually bathymetric determination using exponential function of depth. While in this paper described a new approach to calculate the depth of seawater derived from SPOT-4 satellite data using empirical formulas functions of logarithmic or quadratic equation built through correlasi the depth map obtained from DIHIDROS (Navy) with Digital Number or the reflectance values of SPOT band-1. This experience has been tested at Perigi bay in Trenggalek district and Popoh bay in Tulung Agung district. Based on the calculations, the spread of sallow water depth on Perigi and popoh bay about 5 – 70 meters Key words: Bathymetric, SPOT, Isobaths, Shallow water depth. correlation
