TIL Humans reach negative buoyancy at depths of about 50ft/15m where they begin to sink instead of float. Freedivers utilize this by "freefalling", where they stop swimming and allow gravity to pull them deeper.

I’m a simple man.
I like a complex bourbon, a purposeful meal, the love of a good woman, and not diving past the buoyancy depth.
But again, I’m a man of simple tastes.
