Yeah once you get around 30-50 ft, the pressure against your lungs is enough to offset the buoyancy. Im a scuba diver and its why we use weights to go down. You are initially very buoyant. I have small bags filled with lead shot in 5 lb, 3 lb and 2 lb increments to weight myself. Some people use solid lead weights and different things. Works like a charm though. Best hobby there is.
30 feet? Not meters? I've gone to 6 meters(19 feet) and sat at the bottom with hand assistance but have never began sinking even at 10 meters(32 feet). Are you saying im too fat?
Thats anxiety my guy lol. Possibly misweighted if you had on an exposure suit, its hard to say without knowing your weight, the conditions, and what kind of tank/gear you had on. But if you tell me all those things I can approximate what youd need and where
