Abstract The present invention provides a buoyancy system (11) for moving an object (12) in a body of water. The system (11) comprises at least one inflatable body (16) which, when inflated, increases the buoyancy of the object (12), and an inflation apparatus (19) to inflate the at least one inflatable body (16). The system (11) also comprises an activation system (21) to activate the inflation apparatus (19). Upon activation of the activation system (21) the inflation apparatus (19) causes a gas to flow to the at least one inflatable body (16), causing the object (12) to move.
