The manuscript entitled ‘Red Sea Salinity and Turbidity Effects on Underwater Li-Fi Technology’ is in line with the Applied Sciences journal. It is based on original research. The topic undertaken by the author is important from a practical point of view, interesting, and up-to-date. The article is quite well planned, but the article requires major changes in the content before publication, including:
