Factors Affecting Buoyancy
- • Body composition: Muscle sinks, fat floats
- • Wetsuit thickness: Thicker suits add buoyancy
- • Water salinity: Saltwater is more buoyant
- • Tank size: Affects weight distribution
- • Depth: Wetsuit compresses, losing buoyancy
Safety Tips
- • Always do a buoyancy check in shallow water
- • Start conservative and remove weight if needed
- • Consider depth changes during your dive
- • Account for wetsuit compression at depth
- • Practice proper weighting with an instructor
