Why is it important to have good buoyancy while scuba diving? Buoyancy control is one of the most important things to master when scuba diving. Adjusting your buoyancy is not easy for beginner scuba divers, but after some practice, it will become second nature.
​You can compare learning buoyancy controls the same as learning how to ride a bicycle or car. In the beginning, it feels impossible to master, but after some time passed you hardly think about it.
We mainly like to use our lungs for buoyancy control. By breathing in you expand your lung, displacing more water which makes you rise(ascent) a bit. Exhaling will deflate your lungs, displacing less water which in turn makes you fall(descent) a bit. By breathing normally you should stay in one place, hover and achieve neutral buoyancy.
If you can’t control your buoyancy with your lungs then you can also use your BCD for buoyancy control by adding or releasing a bit of air from it.
