         15 . An aquatic life-saving capsule comprising:
 a capsule body comprising a bottom part; a side surface part coupled to an upper portion of the bottom part along an edge of the bottom part, the capsule body to form a waterproof compartment allowing a user board, together with the bottom part, by being positioned longitudinal in water after expanding when air is injected therein; and a balance maintaining part coupled to a lower portion of the side surface part, to expand, when air is injected therein to keep a balance of the waterproof compartment, the balance maintaining part having a boarding hole formed in a central portion, with a outer diameter larger than an outer diameter of the side surface part, in communication with the waterproof compartment; and   a capsule cover comprising a cover to cover the waterproof compartment; a plurality of tube frames to expand, when air is injected therein, with being attached to the cover to be spaced apart from each other and with both ends of the tube frames being coupled to each other at both ends of a center of the cover, respectively, wherein the both ends of the tube frames are pivotably coupled to an outer circumference of the balance maintaining part, and open or close the waterproof compartment according to a pivoting direction.   
     
     
         16 . The aquatic life-saving capsule according to  claim 15 , further comprising:
 at least one coupling unit installed on a portion where the capsule cover is in contact with the capsule body, to couple the capsule cover to the capsule body.   
     
     
         17 . The aquatic life-saving capsule according to  claim 15 , further comprising:
 a life-saving jacket comprising a connector for the life-saving jacket and a receiving part configured to foldably receive the capsule body and the capsule cover deflated therein; and   a connector unit comprising a plurality of connectors disposed at an upper portion of the capsule body, at least one of the connectors coupled to the connector for the life-saving jacket.   
     
     
         18 . The aquatic life-saving capsule according to  claim 17 , wherein the connector unit comprises at least one pair of male and female connectors. 
     
     
         19 . The aquatic life-saving capsule according to  claim 15 , further comprising:
 a window disposed in the capsule cover to enable a user to observe the outside from the inside; and   a cover screen provided in the window to selectively cover the window.   
     
     
         20 . The aquatic life-saving capsule according to  claim 15 , further comprising:
 an open/close hole disposed in the capsule cover to receive rainwater in rainy weather; and   a drinkable water storing unit disposed at a lower portion of the capsule cover to store rainwater flowing in through the open/close hole.
