if/when you go on a drift dive, all you need to do is get neutral, use your fins to steer, and use your lungs to go up or down. It's like flying. Breath in to go up over objects, then exhale to cruize back to the bottom.
Before BC's divers would use their lungs for BC's. They would have to be optimally weighted so they didn't sink or float. Those guys in the late 50's & early 60's knew what buoyancy was all about.
