Description:

"Throughout diving history, divers have had to cope with variations in buoyancy. Early divers did not have buoyancy compensators, yet handled buoyancy gracefully. Modern diving, however, presumes the use of buoyancy compensators. This booklet reviews the interesting history of the development of buoyancy control, discusses buoyancy compensation versus lifesaving flotation, and offers suggestions to help the diver choose and maintain a safe buoyancy compensation system"--National Sea Grant Library publication website
