I've seen this posted in the past but nothing new for a while...
I came up with something works really well and costs around £10 ($13) each (less if you make 4 or more). I used Floplast Solvent Weld waste pipe to create sealed tubes. The materials are available at B&Q (in the UK) or probably Home Depot in the US, with only minimal use of tools. They're also (to a degree) adjustable in their buoyancy characteristics.
Anyway, I posted a fully explanation DIY Adjustable Buoyancy Devices for Underwater Camera Strobe arms
I haven't calculated the lift they provide but they work better than I thought! Used to 30m with no problems. They're not pretty, but they work.
Hope it's useful for any DIY fans
