Introduction. The quasi-two-phase theory of propagation of an elastic wave in the unconsolidated marine sediments is represented. The longitudinal and shear waves can propagate in marine sediments. The phase velocities, the attenuation coefficients and their frequency dependences are the acoustic properties of these waves. It is shown experimentally that the in dry granular media, the attenuation coefficient is directly proportional to frequency. Whereas in the saturated media, the deviations fr
