Sure,go for it.
To answer it simply, I do it as just one more way enjoy the dive! It may not seem logical at this point in your diving career, but at a point your going to be on the bottom and say to yourself "I wonder if I could do..." and a whole crop of potentially fun things to do are going to come to mind. Whether its bobbing along upside-down, doing a buddha hover, or just swimming along while looking at the surface, all of these things involve having good buoyancy control, and all of them are a great way of practicing. Its my belief that buoyancy control is not like riding a bike, if you dont practice it consciously, it will degrade to a degree IMO. In my own case, I dedicate at least one extra dive a month where I just sit on the bottom and focus on buoyancy control techniques. For me, these dives are really nice and relaxing, and I reap the benefits when on all my future dives my buoyancy is up to par. Exercises like the Lotus/Buddha are a simple and fun way to keep tabs on your buoyancy control skills during both pool dives and regular dives, along with any number of other positions (bobbing upside down for example), and at least for me they can be quite relaxing. Like most all things in diving, if its not fun, its not worth doing! Especially if you decide to move into Scientific Diving one day. After a week of dives in rough conditions where all your doing is scrambling around on the bottom, laying out transect tapes, recording pages and pages of data, and getting tossed around, you would be amazed at how much you learn to appreciate something as simple as a lotus/buddha hover! I suspect the same thing also goes for most any non-recreational diving, such as tec diving.
