Peak Performance Buoyancy

What is neutral buoyancy? It’s the point at which you neither sink nor float. When someone is neutrally buoyant, they move up and down as they let air in and out of their lungs. Divers who’ve mastered the highest performance levels in buoyancy stand apart. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover, almost as if by thought. They interact gently with aquatic life and affect their surroundings minimally.
