This invention relates to deep-water underwater transportation in mining operations, and can be used for the placement of geological survey and mining equipment. The present underwater transport module comprises a body (1), ballast tanks (2) with adjustable buoyancy, and a system (3) for pumping a working medium in and out, said working medium being water from outside the transport module. According to the invention, the body (1) has a streamlined shape and is made of syntactic foam (a composite based on hollow glass microspheres), the ballast tanks (2) are configured in the form of a multi-tiered ballast system comprised of a plurality of spherical vessels (4), each of which consists of two interconnected hemispheres (5), the cavities (6) of the spherical vessels (4) being connected to one another and to the system (3) for pumping a working medium in and out, and the underwater transport module further comprises hydraulic propellers (7) for cruising and maneuvering, said propellers being connected to the system (3) for pumping a working medium in and out. The invention provides for the reliable and environmentally friendly use of a transport module at great depths as a result of enhanced durability, buoyancy and maneuverability.
