The invention discloses a circular-disc-shaped underwater glider and a working method thereof. The glider comprises a circular-disc-shaped shell, a pressure-resisting shell, a control system, a communication navigation system, a driving system, a sensor system, an energy source system and an external port. The circular-disc-shaped shell made of a buoyancy material covers the pressure-resisting shell and greater buoyancy is provided for the circular-disc-shaped underwater glider, so that effective load is improved. The pressure-resisting shell structure design scheme combining the pressure-resisting shell and a pressure-resisting hollow ring is adopted so that the utilization rate of the inner space of the circular-disc-shaped underwater glider is improved; meanwhile, the quantity of sealing nodes of internal equipment is greatly reduced, more equipment is prevented from being exposed in a deep sea complicated underwater environment, and thus the whole reliability is improved. A gravity center adjusting system is arranged in the pressure-resisting hollow ring, and a force arm and a moment, generated by a slide block, are relatively great; and the posture control efficiency is improved and the inner space of the circular-disc-shaped underwater glider is sufficiently utilized.
