I think that would depend on the pressure.. If the intestinal gas is at a higher pressure than ambient then the bouyancy would be increased. But as you go deeper the expelled gas would not add to the overal volume.
This begs the question, how deep can one fart?
I guess the external (ie ambient) pressure on the abdomen wall have an effect on intestinal pressure so there must be a differential gradient between the inside and outside?
Nige come back mate, I've lost myself already...
I think I farted at 20m once, but I'm "straining" to remember
