Abstract
The transmission of data, gathered by different underwater instruments or control systems, was first done using electrical and/or electromechanical cables which linked the source to the receiver. The use of acoustic waves to transmit these data enables the source to become a self-contained instrument and eliminates the drawbacks of the cables. Many scientific institutes and industrial firms tried to design such systems. IFREMER, in the framework of its programmes related to underwater intervention, has designed a self-contained system to transmit pictures from the sea-bottom to a surface vessel.
