A combustion buoyancy control system for a submersible object is provided. The buoyancy control system includes a piston cylinder and a piston defining a combustion chamber. An oxidizer inlet introduces oxidizer into the combustion chamber. A fuel injector and igniter device injects fuel into the combustion chamber so that it mixes with the oxidizer in the combustion chamber and then ignites the mixture of oxidizer and fuel in the combustion chamber to produce combustion. Combustion within the combustion chamber displaces the piston member in a first direction causing an increase in the volume of the combustion chamber which increases the buoyancy of the submersible object. Displacement of the piston member in a second opposite direction causes a decrease in the volume of the combustion chamber which in turn decreases the buoyancy of the submersible object.
