Why Are Objects More Buoyant in Saltwater vs Freshwater? Buoyancy tips for Beginner Scuba Divers

Buoyancy for beginner scuba divers. Why are objects more buoyant in saltwater vs freshwater? An object is neutrally buoyant when it displaces the same weight of water as the weight of the object. 1 Litre of freshwater weighs 1 Kilo. For example, if an object weighs 10 kilograms and displaces 10 liters of freshwater it will be neutrally buoyant.

​If we now place the same object in saltwater it will float. This is because saltwater weighs more than freshwater as it is denser (it has salt in it). The object will still displace the same amount of water, but that amount of water now weighs more than the object and that will cause the object to float.
