buoyancy when snorkling/weights

Do some searching (maybe even on google) about "freediving" that should give you the information you're looking for.

ill be diving but mainly snokling in the red sea in april and it annoys me when im at the surface and i see something nice just below me a few feet and i cant stay there for a couple of seconds longer to take a few shots, i wont be going down that far just about 2 metres or so

It's okay to weight yourself but you should weight yourself so that you are positively bouyant on the surface. I am assuming that you are wearing a wetsuit. You wetsuit does not compress all that much within only 2 meters so you might find it difficult to weight yourself such that you are positively bouyant on the surface and nuetral at 2 meters. Whatever you do, just be sure you are positively bouyant on the surface.
