The invention discloses a robotic fish with an independent chain-shaped tail support and a snorkeling method of the robotic fish. The robotic fish with the independent chain-shaped support comprises a head, a middle supporting plate, a tail, a pectoral fin and a tail fin. The head comprises a left head shell, a right head shell, a trapezoid partitioning plate, a pectoral fin rudder support, a pectoral fin rudder, a planar double-rocking-bar mechanism, a pectoral fin shaft, a pectoral fin shaft supporting pat, a battery and a circuit board, and the tail comprises the chain-shaped tail support, a fish skin, a first joint, a second joint, a third joint, a first linkage disc, a second linkage disc, a rudder fixing part and a tail fin clamp. The tail fin comprises a tail fin piece and a tail fin insertion part. The pectoral fin comprises a left pectoral fin piece and a right pectoral fin piece. The robotic fish is beautiful, exquisite and vivid in shape and can be kept in a reasonable form when swimming and turning. The independent chain-shaped tail support is compact in structure, convenient to machine and low in cost and allowed to be independently detached and can keep the robotic fish in the form well when swimming underwater.
