Buoyancy is basically the weight of the water being displaced minus the weight of the displacee.
So for equal volume dudes, whoever weighs more will sink more.
For equal weight dudes, whoever takes up the most volume will be more buoyant.
Fill your lungs up with air? More volume displaced, same weight, more buoyant.
