High quality of commercial and research uses of acoustical methods in fisheries need to have enough information about sound speed variations, Ray tracing and attenuation rate in the water. In this paper we focused on sound speed variation with depth versus physical properties of Bandar Dayer waters (NE of Farsi island and about 50 kilometers south of Delware; 28.2 N & 50.58 E) and calculation of attenuation rate. Importance of this area is for the Gulf currents, which cover this region. The results of this research show that up to 11 meters depth sound speed remain constant while depth increases and temperature decreases. After this depth sound speed decreases which is for decreasing in salinity and temperature. Sound attenuation profiles show that the most attenuation rate is at 17 to 27 meters depth.
