PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an underwater moving body which moves in a target facility without needing a new driving source and hardly becomes fluid resistance during movement of the underwater moving body, and an internal facility moving method for the same.SOLUTION: An underwater moving body 1 is an underwater moving body having, in a building frame 50, an air bladder 31 for carrying out buoyancy adjustment between underwater and a water surface and a plurality of facilities. The underwater moving body includes: at least one target facility 10 of the facilities arranged at a position abutting the air bladder and becoming a moving target by expansion of the air bladder; and a guide unit 20 provided in the building frame for guiding movement of the target facility so as to be in a preset trail. The underwater moving body is structured so that at least a part of the target facility is projected outside the building frame of the target facility by moving the target facility along the guide unit by expansion of the air bladder.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】新たな駆動源を必要とせずに対象設備を移動し、水中移動体の移動中において流体抵抗になり難い水中移動体及びその内部設備移動方法を提供すること。【解決手段】水中移動体１は、水中と水面との間で浮力調整を行う浮袋３１と、複数の設備とを躯体５０内に有する水中移動体であって、前記浮袋に当接する位置に配置され前記浮袋の膨張により移動する対象となる前記設備のうちの少なくとも１つの対象設備１０と、前記躯体内に設けられ前記対象設備の移動を予め設定した軌道となるように案内する案内部２０と、を備え、前記浮袋の膨張により前記対象設備を前記案内部に沿って移動させ前記対象設備の少なくとも一部を前記躯体外に突出させる構成とした。【選択図】図３
