Facilitating underwater optical wireless communication
An apparatus 310 for facilitating optical wireless communication between underwater Equipment 306. The apparatus comprises a flexible, non-permeable first sheet 302 configured to cover at least a portion of the underwater equipment. The first sheet is further configured to be retained in position at a plurality of points 312 around the underwater equipment, and the apparatus is configured to contain a first buoyant fluid 304 having a density lower than the surrounding water, such that the fluid exerts a buoyancy force on the apparatus. An inner surface 301 of the apparatus comprises a material configured to reflect optical wireless communication signals. The apparatus may comprise a second sheet 303 joined to the first sheet to form a closed volume between the first sheet and the second sheet and a second volume below the second sheet wherein the second sheet may be non-permeable. The reflective material may comprise one or more of metal foil, a light coloured paint, a glossy paint and a glossy and or light coloured polymer material.
