My english is not so good so I have no idea what positive boyancy is

Positive bouancy is a tendency to rise in the water to the surface

Neutral bouancy is to be so trimmed as to niether rise nor fall in the
water

negative bouancy is the tendency to sink in the water towards the bottom.

normally in submarines these are a function of ballast.
