Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a communication method, a transceiver, a relay, a communication system, and a program capable of performing high-speed communication even in a case where there is an obstacle between two separated points in water. In this communication method, two points each confirm the other's position by using sound wave communication which is likely to be diffracted as a wave due to a relatively small frequency and a large wavelength.

In this communication method, signals are transmitted and received by using optical wireless communication using a relay on the path.
