By the time you fell far enough into a GG's atmosphere to reach neutral buoyancy, you'd have much worse problems.

Ah hang on, quick google and I'm good...

Mantra all through the movie "Event Horizon" to allow myself to ignore the fact that a derelict ship was hanging high in Neptune's atmosphere for no apparent reason, and none of the rescue party remarked on this fact.

Well, I had a feeling it would take some more thought/detail/work before it might work. But as I said, I'm ignorant enough about the details that I wouldn't attempt it unless I was really going for a space opera feel. Would still make a cool adventure if some kernel of rationale could be made though!
