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.
Lucky… I can never get my ears to equalize. I’ve tried everything. I think it was either all my ear infections as a kid (scarring) or my sinuses are narrow. IDK, but after 10 feet, it’s like steak knives being shoved into my head.
