Thanks! A friend was saying how much he sinks shouldn't matter due to density and I disagreed, but kept quiet because I wasn't entirely sure about how buoyancy and other forces factored into it. I can finally be at peace now.

Does the higher amount of force exerted onto the water's surface by the heavier person allow him to plunge deeper initially, and then they both sink afterward at the same speed due to same density? In other words, does the heavier person travel a greater distance than the lighter person in a...
