Density and moisture ?

What am I missing ? Given that the mass of a cubic metre of water is so much more than the same volume of air ; How is it the case that moist air is less dense than dry (or less moist) air ? is it a function of ambient temperature ? seems counter-intuitive to me but then so does Bernoulli's theorem . I'm sure that I'm demonstrating my ignorance but hey
