All cylinders will undergo a change in their buoyancy characteristics during a dive as the gas that is contained inside of them is consumed. This means that you'll always start the dive more negative, or sinking if you have no air in your BCD, then as the dive progresses you will become more positively buoyant as the tank becomes lighter because of the gas being breathed from it. In this video you get to see just how much weight is needed in order to weigh down an aluminum 80 cylinder. It really doesn't take much!
