Scuba divers can hover at depths with proper buoyancy control. This is achieved when the diver wears the appropriate amount of lead weight to make them sink and has an equalized amount of air inside the buoyancy control device (BCD) to balance the sinking effect with air pressure in the bladder of the BCD & the divers lungs. When proper buoyance is achieved the diver can hover at depth and seem weightless while only moving slightly up or down in the water due to the controlled amount of air within their lungs all while still breathing appropriately at the given depth.

What factors determine wheter or not an object will float?
Sinking or floating are determined by the density of the object.
Does size can affect floating and sinking?
To determine if an object will float in a substance, you look only at its density
Sinking and floating?
Well because of density anything can sink o float it is caused by density. What i mean is if density is 1 and up it will sink but if density is 1 and down it will float .
How doboats float without sinking?
Because the mass of the boat is less than the mass of water the boat displaces.
When boating what does a red flag with white diagnol stripe mean?
A float with a red flag with a diagonal white stripe is the symbol for "Divers Down"; SCUBA divers are underwater in this area. Be cautious in the area of the float, because the divers will surface nearby.
Do crododiles float or sink?
