An underwater towing system (1) according to one embodiment includes: a towing structure (2) sailing on or in water; a towing rope (3) hanging down from the towing structure (2) into the water; and underwater work structures (5) towed by the towing rope (3). At least one light emitter (4) is attached to the towing rope (3). The light emitter (4) is controlled by control circuitry (21) included in the towing structure (2). Each of the underwater work structures (5) includes a light receiver (53) that can receive a light signal from the light emitter (4). One of the underwater work structures (5) separates from the towing rope (3) when the control circuitry (21) makes the light emitter (4) transmit a separation signal for this underwater work structure (5), and the light receiver (53) of this underwater work structure (5) receives the separation signal.
