Extending quadruped locomotion to water enables amphibious mobility with applications in inspection, environmental monitoring and disaster response. This paper presents the design, modeling, and experimental validation of a reproducible underwater quadruped robot. The robot is built around custom waterproof motor housings machined from polyoxymethylene plastic, which use off-the-shelf O-rings and dynamic shaft seals. A simplified model is derived to describe the dynamics of this underwater legged system, capturing how drag forces on spherical end effectors transmit torque to the floating base. Building on this model, a closed-loop attitude controller is developed using an error formulation defined on the special orthogonal group SO(3). The controller is evaluated both in simulation and experimentally in a water tank, where the robot tracks desired orientation setpoints in roll, pitch and yaw. Comments: 16 pages, 8 figures.
