In this research article of modeling Underwater Wireless Sensor Network Simulators, we provide a comprehensive overview of the various currently available simulators used in UWSN modeling. In this work, we compare their working environment, software platform, simulation language, key features, limitations and corresponding applications. Based on extensive experimentation and performance analysis, we provide their efficiency for specific applications. We have also provided guidelines for developing protocols in different layers of the protocol stack, and finally these parameters are also compared and tabulated. This analysis is significant for researchers and designers to find the right simulator for their research activities. : {"references": ["Jakobsson, Martin, Ron Macnab, Larry Mayer, Robert Anderson, Margo\nEdwards, J\u00f6rn Hatzky, Hans Werner Schenke, and Paul Johnson. \"An\nimproved bathymetric portrayal of the Arctic Ocean: Implications for\nocean modeling and geological, geophysical oceanographic analyses\",\nGeophysical Research Letters, Vol.35, No. 7, 2008", "Ian F.
