   If a diver is neutrally buoyant in salt water then he will sink in fresh
water.  Correct?

No.

If a diver is neutrally buoyant in salt water, he's in salt water.

Yes that is correct. Salt water has a higher density than fresh water, and
objects will be more buoyant in salt water. The amount of salt concentration
will also affect it as well.

Think about it VanF.  Before you took up scuba diving, and you went swimming
in the ocean, did you notice that it was easier to float than when you were
in a lake or a pool?

The principle is the same.  Extrapolate.  Besides, your CDrom should have
explained all that.  Didn't you get a book too?

Oh yeah, and I love Jammer's answer.

Make 'em ask the question right, girl.

It's over half the battle, and will eliminate most of  the stupid
questions, unless there's a "Bob" involved.

 I think it has something to do with spelling your name backwards.

 Think about it.

 Bob.

 Spell that backwards, it's...

 Bob.

 Or maybe...

  boB.

  Iduuno.

  But still not as bad as having two first names, like,

  Douglas Frederick.

  It's an id thing.

Maybe it was just "mean" of his mom to give him a name like that.
