%X Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWASNs) are playing a lot of interest in ocean applications, such as ocean pollution monitoring, ocean animal surveillance, oceanographic data collection, assisted- navigation, and offshore exploration, UWASN is composed of underwater sensors that engage sound to transmit information collected in the ocean. The reason to utilize sound is that radio frequency (RF) signals used by terrestrial sensor networks (TWSNs) can merely transmit a few meters in the water. Unfortunately, the efficiency of UWASNs is inferior to that of the terrestrial sensor networks (TWSNs). Some of the challenges in under water communication are propagation delay, high bit error rate and limited bandwidth. Our aim is to minimize the power consumption and to improve the reliability of data transmission by finding the optimum number of clusters based on energy consumption.
