A water submergence toy is not performed using a screw. It is done by only changing the buoyancy by means of changing the volume. Because of this, the control and surfacing responsiveness becomes very poor. The water submergence toy according to the present invention compresses the air inside a piston when the piston is pushed towards the inside of a cylinder to reduce the volume. This makes the buoyancy smaller. Conversely, when the piston is moved in a direction away from the cylinder, the volume of the air inside the piston becomes larger and the buoyancy increases. In addition, because this type of buoyancy adjustment can be performed manually as well, those who play with a water submergence toy can adjust the buoyancy whenever it is necessary. Because of this, the buoyancy of the water submergence toy can always be maintained in a state adjusted for optimum buoyancy.
