it is called buoyancy - search Archimedes principal - any object wholly or partially immersed in a fluid is bouyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. don't you hate it when you get an answer and it still doesn't make sense! it is actually pretty involved and changes based on type of fluid and density of that fluid and the shape of the object -- maybe a local dive shop could give more detail if the above search doesn't help.
