Answer 1

Buoyancy is based on relative density.

The more dense object sinks into the less dense one (or the less dense one rises to the top,)

When water is full of air bubble it is less dense (it is also not an even mix)

Bubbles rise to the top, and anything heavier than air tends to fall to a region of similar buoyancy.
