A buoyancy modification module for a modular underwater vehicle may include a first frame configured to connect the buoyancy modification module to other modules, and a first pressure hull with a first flooding region and a first dry region. A first pump arranged in the first dry region can pump water out of the surroundings or a neutral-buoyancy reservoir into the first flooding region and out of the first flooding region into the surroundings or the neutral-buoyancy reservoir. A first gas region that is connected to the first flooding region may include a first gas pressure when the first flooding region is completely empty, and a second gas pressure when the first flooding region is completely flooded. A difference between the first gas pressure and the second gas pressure results from a reduction in space available for gas in the first gas region.
