Interesting. I've read about these in a novel. It was used as an interrogation technique by the KGB. The mechanics of it weren't explained as fully as you described, so that helped.

Do you have to be naturally buoyant to use one? (I sink like a stone in the pool. Always have.)

Hey Chris! Happy you found this explanation on the tank helpful.

You do not have to be naturally buoyant to successfully float in the tank (something I worried about as well), as it's specifically designed to make anyone of any body type able to float and feel the effects of no gravity, and not sink. The water is typically 12 inches deep in the tank!

Interesting. Now I'm really curious to try it.
