Yes, you really can learn to scuba dive, and never know anything but decent buoyancy control and good trim.
I'd like to pass on this little video clip on as encouragement for those in a class, or recently graduated. All it takes is practice, and someone willing to teach you the basics. Don't let anyone tell you it's magic, or too onerous, or impossible to master as a low-time diver.

The student here is seen at the very begining of their second pool session. They ballpark their buoyancy with the BC, then levitate and control depth by using breath control. As you can see, he has to work at it, but hey - it's only his second pool session.
All the best, James
