Buoyancy Control

Buoyancy control refers to the ability to manage an object's floating or sinking in water. It is primarily determined by the object's density compared to the surrounding water. When an object is denser than water, it sinks; when it is less dense, it floats. In activities like scuba diving, divers use equipment like buoyancy control devices (BCDs) to adjust their buoyancy, allowing them to ascend, descend, or maintain a stable position in the water. Proper control ensures safety and comfort, making it easier to navigate underwater environments.
