    Water’s not compressible, so the density doesn’t change with depth. Either the bowling ball is denser than water or less dense than water.

      Water does change density with temperature, so it is denser the deeper you go. I doubt there’s a normal bowling ball weight that would have the right density for it to float at some random depth though.
