The Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks faces a number of challenges induced by the nature of the underwater environment and its influence on the physical media. Routing protocols in Underwater wireless sensor networks have set of rules that are used for the purpose of routing to find a particular node. Each routing protocols have unique quality of the function and route the data from source to destination node. They perform in different roles in UWSNs. This paper surveys a number of the recent routing protocols for UWSNs. Specifically, the idea of each protocol is presented as well as its advantages and disadvantages. Above all this paper briefly explains all the routing protocols and their duty in UWSNs.
