Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Ballast Question



Or you could just be born unlucky like me and be neutrally boyant for all intents and purposes.  (when on the surface my nose is all that will be above water..)

Hello there, and happy new year you all.
Again my advise would be for new comers in psusbs making, to get you scuba certification.
Most of your questions would be answeared and your misconceptions corrected.
You would also have fun and scuba is the logical start and a must for any subman.
The rock weights the same whether you are at 1000 ft or 10 ft.
everybody is positive buoyant at the surface, unless your body is all screwed up and metal plate boned armored.
Although you have to kick to go down at first, after about 50 ft you become negative as your body, not only the lungs are being compressed, and you sink.
This is why bodies of seamen who went deep down with their ship never resurface.
