To prevent from kicking and damaging coral If too buoyant, diver won't be able to have a control ascent With negative buoyancy the diver has to constantly fin to stop from being dragged to the bottom Better air consumption when correct amount of weight is carried All the above None 25) List 2 ways to prevent hypothermia?
