At least this is my experience playing around with water and stuff as a kid. Don't take my comments and try to explain if I'm right or wrong, I'm simply stating my experience when I was a kid.

@Krauter I love good debates to but I must go to work in 20min and cant debate right now
It's true. But do you also acknoledge the fact that as you continue to go deeper, the water pressure weight will overcome the baloon-effect?
