If your diver will not sink, it means that either it is not dense enough, or that not enough pressure is being applied to the diver when you squeeze the bottle. Try these suggestions: Make sure there is water right to the top of the bottle. If there is some air, your efforts will be spent compressing that air before it affects the diver.
Try adding a few drops of water to the diver to make it more dense. Hold the diver in a cup of water and squeeze out a couple of air bubbles. When you stop squeezing, the diver will draw in a few drops of water. Test the diver in a tall cup of water. The top of the diver should be just above the surface of the water.
If your diver is sealed, try adding some weight to it by attaching a paper clip or wrap some light-weight wire around it. Test as indicated above.
If your diver will not float, it means that it is too dense. Try these hints:
Let a few drops of water out of the diver. Test it in a tall cup of water. The top of the diver should just break the water at its surface.
If your diver is sealed, it may have a tiny leak which allows some water in when the bottle is squeezed. Try gently squeezing the diver to see if a couple drops of water will come out. Test as above before returning the diver to the bottle.
You can try removing some weight by taking off some of the wire or other items attached to the diver.
