Abstract
Underwater communication encompasses the trans- mission of data using various methods including acoustic waves, radio frequency signals and optical communication technologies. These systems are crucial especially for the underwater sensing and navigation needs and other marine activities, wherein underwater wireless optical communication may be regarded as one of the most prominent features due its high rate of data transfer but also over long distances. Today many Marine workers work in dangerous environments such as in very deep seas, at low temperatures and even in poisonous surroundings, therefore monitoring health status is one of the core components concerning safety and operational end efficiency. The particular paper describes the Smart Underwater System designed to observe the health status of marine workers in synchronous mode. Underwater communication systems are crucial due to the long distances involved in the transfer and reception of signals. Such critical signs of life as heart rate and body temperature measured using wearable sensors are forwarded through a wireless communication network to a surface monitoring station. The goal of this system is to improve safety measures of offshore oil production and reduce occupational health incidence rates by offering the chances of receiving prompt treatment thus ensuring the safety of workers and efficiency of operations and their productivity.
