Zusammenfassung:An underwater actuator includes: a housing to be immersed under water; a cylinder chamber formed in the housing; a piston accommodated in the cylinder chamber such that the piston is movable in a sliding manner in the cylinder chamber, the piston dividing the cylinder chamber into a first pressure receiving chamber and a second pressure receiving chamber; a rod extending from the piston to the first pressure receiving chamber side, the rod penetrating the housing; a release chamber formed in the housing, the release chamber having an internal pressure kept lower than a water pressure of outside of the housing; and a switching mechanism including: a first switcher configured to switch a communication state between the second pressure receiving chamber and the outside of the housing to allow or block communication therebetween; and a second switcher configured to switch a communication state between the second pressure receiving chamber and the release chamber to allow or block communication therebetween.
