Density (at 20° C [68° F]) (rhombic) 2.06 gms/cubic centimetres
Density (at 20° C [68° F]) (monoclinic) 1.96 gms/cubic centimetres
Density (near room temperature) (gamma) 1.92 gms/cubic centimetres
Liquid density at melting point 1.819 gms/cubic centimetres
The most stable variety of the element is rhombic sulphur, a yellow, crystalline solid with a density of 2.06 g/cu cm at 20° C (68° F).
When kept at temperatures above 94.5° C (202.1° F) but below 120° C (248° F) the rhombic form changes into monoclinic sulphur consisting of elongated, transparent, needlelike structures with a density of 1.96 g/cu cm at 20° C (68° F).
The temperature at which rhombic and monoclinic sulphur are in equilibrium, 94.5° C (202.1° F), is known as the transition temperature.

Suplhur has a number of different crystalline structures, leading to a number of slightly different densities, varying from 2.07 g/mL to 1.92 g/mL.
Hope that helps!

It depends on which crystalline state it's in, 1.92, 1.96 or 2.07 g/cc, which is about twice the density of water.
