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 else can I help you with?
Why leaves float on top of pond instead of sinking?
Leaves float on top of ponds because they have a lower density than water, which allows them to be buoyant. The air pockets in leaves also contribute to their ability to float. This allows leaves to stay on the surface of the water rather than sinking.
What do the sinking objects have in common?
The sinking objects share the characteristic of being denser than the liquid they are placed in, causing them to sink rather than float.
Do crayons float on water?
Yes, crayons do float on water due to their low density compared to water. This makes them buoyant enough to stay on the surface rather than sinking.
Why are eggs floating in water?
Eggs float in water because they have an air cell inside the shell, which makes them less dense than water. This causes them to float instead of sinking.
How long will it styrofoam float?
Styrofoam will float indefinitely because it is less dense than water, making it buoyant. This is due to its composition of trapped air bubbles within the material, preventing it from sinking.
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.
What prevents phytoplankton from sinking?
They aren't very dense, so they float.
Do crododiles float or sink?
They can control floating or sinking with air in their lungs.

What if the betta fish is not floating to the top and is sinking to the bottom?
Fish do not normally "float around" they swim. If your fish is floating/sinking then it is probably dead.

In which sea anyone can float without fear of sinking because of its saltiness?
The Dead Sea
What is it called when you are boating and you see a red flag with a white diagonal stripe?
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.
