Why do people in movies sink when they fall in the water?

The density of the human body is lower than water's, especially sea water's, yet whenever someone who is unconscious or can't swim in movies falls into the sea they sink? If you do literally nothing, what happens is that you end up floating face-down (I've tried it), sure you'll drown but you won't sink...

On the same subject how do people swim with their eyes open? It hurts like hell and it doesn't offer much benefit since you only see a blurring mess (I've tried this as well)

Because everybody is diving down to have a tea party with Poseidon.

Shut your fucking mouth Zep, I'll have you know I was a US navy seals commander for over 85 years and I never once floated on water.

Of course a little shit stain like you would rise to the surface, do not shit post on my board again or they'll be dire consequences I'll have you know I'm trained to swim in minus 30 degree Celsius water just perfectly fine. and YES I KEEP MY EYES OPEN SO I CAN LOOK OUT FOR easy pray like you who float on the surface. You have NO IDEA what you're talking about. Go home kid.

Only witches float on water zeph.... you know what we do to witches in these parts zeph....
