We don't generally dive in boat traffic zones here in SoCal. And you never see a dive float outside of a class. In situations like those, though, it makes sense to go vertical for the last 10' or so of the ascent.
Otherwise, horizontal is a better position to do pretty much everything from.
More info here:
feet first decents or swim down? huh? (I posted #25) Ascents and descents are not that different, except you need to be a lot slower on the ascent.
