It may sound hippy hype, but you can enhance your buoyancy through visualization. Mentally rehearse the performance you want (ideally -gliding through the water stream-lined and horizontal and breathing with perfect buoyancy control!) then try to make your buoyancy on the real dive match the dive that you imagined. Multiple studies show that mental practice improves performance – give it a try (and you don’t have to let anyone know you’re doing it!).
