The development of a low-cost remotely controlled underwater vehicle, as well as wireless communication and submerging methods, are discussed in this paper. One of the major objectives of the present study was to monitor the underwater environment. An action camera was used to record the underwater environment. The shape of the underwater vehicle is cylindrical where radius and length are 0.15 m and 0.45 m respectively. SolidWorks software was used to design the vehicle and build it accordingly. For the main body, PVC pipe was used because it was cost-effective and wouldn’t catch any rust. In the present study, it was found that radio frequency was not working properly underwater. Therefore, the antenna was extended above the surface of the water. Finally, experimental data was stored in a black box. From the experimental data, it is found that output responses like roll, pitch and yaw show good agreement against the input command.
