What is the displacement in gallons of water for an adult human fully submerged?

The displacement in gallons would be about equal to the weight of the individual since the density of a average body is about equal to the density of water. Larger bodies float and smaller bodies sink due to fat being less dense than water and muscle. Given that an average body weighs 155 lbs, we divide by 8.34 lbs/gal to get about 18.5 gallons water. You could also use 8.55 lbs/gal for saltwater.

How can a human find out his own volume?
Water displacement. get in a tub of measured water, mark where water level is when fully submerged, measure difference. Simplest if not the most accurate way of doing something.
How does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object compare with the water displaced?
The buoyant force on a fully submerged object is equal to the weight of the water displaced. In fact, that's also true of a floating object.
How does the volume of a fully submerged object compare with the volume of water displaced?
