👉 Scuba fluid, also known as buoyancy compensator fluid (BCF), is a specially formulated water-based solution used in scuba diving to help divers maintain neutral buoyancy underwater. It is typically a mixture of water and glycerin or sodium chloride, with the ratio adjusted to provide the desired buoyancy. When added to a diver's buoyancy control device (BCD), it fills the bladder, allowing divers to ascend or descend efficiently without expending energy. Proper use of scuba fluid is crucial for maintaining stability, conserving air, and ensuring a safe diving experience.
