The most difficult medium for data communication is the underwater medium. It is due to its characteristics. The various existing mode of the communication in water medium are electromagnetic waves, acoustic waves and optical signal. But all these have its own drawbacks. The loss will be huge for Electro-Magnetic (EM) waves, so it is limited to the short range communication, optical waves has line of sight issues. To overcome these, in this paper, a Li-Fi technique is used for data transmission in water medium. It uses Light Emitting Diode (LED) sources for transmission of data. This will ensure the maximum transmission rate and it is more efficient and cheaper than the other existing methods. In this paper, automation via Bluetooth, IoT and it has GPS tracking capabilities are also incorporated.
