It doesnt really make sense that a scuba diver needs to put on several extra pounds of weight when going out on a dive. After all, he or she has a heavy scuba tank strapped to his or her back along with all the other gear required when diving. The truth is that some scuba gear is so buoyant that it is almost as good as a life preserver, and most of the rest of the gear would just barely sink on its own.
A scuba diver's wetsuit gives them an extra source of buoyancy that more than makes up for the weight of the rest of their gear. Scuba tanks , which would seem heavy, lack the ability to make up for the wetsuit because they have a low negative buoyancy.
What we know about boyancy tells us that an object with a lesser general density than water shall float. For instance, most types of wood tend to float because of the air stuck in the fibers and resins of the wood, making it less dense than water. A 5' 11" man who weighs 180 lbs will be required to wear between 15.25lbs and 22lbs of weight, depending on the thickness of his wetsuit.
