Mobile Earthquake Recording in Marine Areas by Independent Divers (MERMAID) provides a possibility for long-term and large-scale observation of natural seismic P waves, but it does not have mobility and can only drift with ocean currents, resulting in observation equipment locations that are too sparse or too dense, both of which are not suitable for network observation. Therefore, this paper developed a new type of Autonomous Glide Marine Seismometer (AGMS) with mobility and the ability to adjust the observation position. The AGMS adopts a flying saucer shape, which has better hydrodynamic characteristics and better motion stability. This paper focused on the material, shape, and structure of the pressure-resistant shell for the selection of design and strength checking research. Using the finite element analysis method and introducing the initial defect, the results showed that the yield strength of the pressure-resistant shell decreases with the initial defect value. The calculation results were compared and analyzed with the relevant theoretical formulas and specification calculation results, and all the results met the design requirements. The results of this design could also provide reference for the design of related deep-sea pressure chambers.
