        abstract = {Underwater wireless communication is challenging due to RF signal absorption. This study explores a Li-Fi-based system using high-power LEDs/Lasers and photodetectors for optical underwater communication. This project investigates the design and implementation of a Li-Fi based underwater communication system capable of establishing robust optical wireless links in underwater conditions. Particular emphasis is placed on mitigating the effects of optical channel impairments, including absorption, scattering, and turbulence, encountered in the underwater environment. Through comprehensive simulations and experimental evaluations in controlled water tank settings, the system's performance is thoroughly characterized in terms of achievable data rates, link range, and bit error rate under various water quality conditions. 
Tested in controlled environments, the system achieves reliable data rates and range under varying conditions, demonstrating potential for underwater sensor networks, ROV control, and diver communication. This work advances underwater optical wireless communication with a practical, tailored solution.},
