This depends on the use of muscles, not just their existence. Some people have a higher metabolic rate than others and this would lead to their air being used quicker as their heart requires a higher rate of oxygen and therefore the lungs have to provide more and so work more often. A muscular diver may use his air more quickly if he is more active. Remember that the air is extracted when you breath, so it's that rate which counts. I would like to add another fator which affects the rate of air used. When there is pressure around the front of your face, the nervous system is built so that you breath quicker, and you are more aware of your breathing than normal. So the water pressure around the face when diving does affect your breathing. Very experienced divers that have had lots of dives will be more used to this, they adapt to it, and therefore use much less air than a first time diver.

What are the gases that scuba divier breathe?
In recreational diving, most divers use compressed air (as in the normal air we breather at the surface). Some divers are also trained to use special gas mixes called Nitrox which have a higher oxygen content and lower Nitrogen. Professional (or commerical) divers tend to use more advance mixes such as Heliox or Trimix which combine Oxygen, Nitrogen and Helium.
Why do sky divers use decimals?
In a tenths situation is when sky divers use decimals.
How do divers use gas?
Some diver use nitrogen to stay underwater for longer but usually compressed air is usedfor those who don't use nitrogen
Would a scuba divers tank filled with compressed air last longer than normal pressure air?
It definitely would. Also, a tank filled with non-compressed air would be nearly impossible to use because air wouldn't flow out of it without an enormous amount of effort. For these reasons, all tanks used by divers are filled with compressed air.
How long would a air tank last on the moon?
Can not answer this question. Need to know:Size of air tankWho or what we are supplying the air too.Finally are we reusing the air as much as possible or using a total loss system like scuba divers use.
Who uses a scuba-suit?
