Expelling the gas is easy. Go head up, loosen your weight belt and pull it away from your back...and up it goes. Even if you have a hood.

Life changing fart. I love it!
- Why did I get bouyant after farting?
Apart from splitting my sides, the question is valid, though if I might re-ask it: "does gas under pressure have the same buoyancy as gas not under pressure" and the answer is. Nope. They indeed have different bouyancies. Freedivers will tell you that after a certain amount of depth, they no longer have to fight to stay down. In fact the buoyancy of the air in the their lungs has compressed past the point where gravity over comes it and on down they go. They have to fight to swim back up and over come the tipping point. At least, that's what I've been told. I'm not a free diver. Can anyone confirm?
