Removing the air from your lungs makes you less bouyant and allows you to sink faster.

I never exhale when doing a surface dive so I can swim down deeper, if you do the surface dive properly by throwing your legs high out of the water you will sink fast enough.

A surface dive is executed by starting laid flat on the surface and face down. Pull both arms forward and bend at the waist. This will take the upper part of your body under the surface.
