I agree. All newbies seem to have difficulty with buoyancy. It is a hard skill to master because mastery requires it becoming automatic. It is like riding a bike. You can know the fundimentals of turning into the fall, but the finesse comes with effort and practice. Occasional divers rarely really get it down, but can get themselves where they can adjust once they arrive at a chosen depth.
Do not be hard on the newbies Mr Smiley. Instead take one under your wing (or colon -- no I mean parentheses mark!) and give them a hand in learning the fine art of maintaining neutrality throughout all phases of the dive.
