Why is buoyancy important to divers?
Buoyancy is one of the most important skills to learn in diving; to become a better diver, to streamline your body, to conserve air thereby gaining longer bottom times, to move naturally amongst the local marine life avoiding injury and more importantly to avoid crashing thorough and damaging the reef. Photographers need it to take good photographs safely, there is nothing worse then watching a photographer crushing corals under their knees to take that perfect shot! Cave divers need buoyancy to be able to move along passageways without disturbing the bottom sediment, or the person following will see nothing but clouds of sand.
