Claim 7:
8. A visual light communication (VLC) system operable within a body of a given fluid, comprising:
a light transmitter operable when completely submerged in the body of the given fluid, the light transmitter configured to repeatedly transition between an on configuration where light is produced and an off configuration where no light is produced in order to generate a light signal at a first defined transmission angle that passes through the body of the given fluid, and the light signal has encoded therein information;
a light sensor operable when completely submerged in the body of the given fluid to receive another transmitted light signal at a second defined transmission angle from at least one light source, wherein the light sensor is configured to convert the another transmitted light signal into an electronic signal having encoded therein information; and
a computer processor configured to decode and demodulate the electronic signal from the at least one light source and encode and modulate the electronic signal from the at least one light source into another electronic signal,
wherein the second defined transmission angle is different than the first defined transmission angle.
