Neutral Buoyancy

Neutral buoyancy occurs when an object’s weight is perfectly balanced by the upward force of water displaced by it, causing the object to neither sink nor float. In practical terms, this means the object remains stationary within the water, suspended at a specific depth. Divers achieve neutral buoyancy by adjusting their buoyancy control device, allowing them to move effortlessly and maintain a constant position underwater. This state is ideal for minimizing physical effort and environmental disturbance during underwater activities like diving or marine research.
