Best Answer

In the case of air-breathing diving animals, the lung may act as a buoyancy organ during the dive if the animal inhales enough air before diving

Turtles use pulmonary gas exchange and can selectively move lung gas to the front, back, right, or left of the lungs to compensate for changes in body weight. Turtles store more oxygen before performing a deeper dive
