officermike , to Ask Science in Can humans reach near neutral buoyancy in a gas that is safe to breathe and contains adequate oxygen?

It’s toxic, but a useful reference point: tungsten hexafluoride is one of the densest known gases in existence. At a density of 13kg/m^3 at standard temperature and pressure, it is nearly two orders of magnitude shy of being dense enough to bring a human (~1000kg/m^3) to neutral buoyancy.
