    With the deepening exploration of ocean, underwater wireless communication technology has become the key to restrict its development. Aiming at the requirement of high speed and long distance underwater wireless communication, an underwater bidirectional link communication system for marine commercial was designed. The laser LD and LED dual emission light sources were adopted at the transmitting end, the system design scheme of dual emission light sources was proposed, and the feasibility of the scheme by designing the corresponding drive circuits was verified. At the receiving end, 5 mm large-area APD and high-sensitivity PMT dual receiving detector were used to receive optical signals, which were suitable for long-distance and high-speed communication. The information processing part of the system was completed by FPGA, and information interaction was carried out with PC through network communication. Finally, the whole system was designed and commercialized. The underwater simulation experiment shows that the communication rate of the system can reach 60 Mbps when the communication distance is 5 m and the bit error rate is 10-7. The communication rate of the system can reach 10 Mbps when the communication distance is 60 m and the bit error rate is 10-7.
