This paper presents the design, development and test of an underwater visible light communication system for the deep sea divers. To achieve a practical communication range, frequency modulation technique has been utilized to modulate the voice signal which is eventually transmitted using visible light. Blue and green light emitting diodes have been chosen to design a full duplex system for simultaneous communication. The proposed system achieved a bidirectional communication range of approximately 3.5 m using off-the-shelf components and without using any optical concentrator.
