For bouyancy calculations, most regulators are assumed to weigh about 4 lbs.
For recreational divers, they only carry one regulator, but technical divers may carry four (or more!) regulators on their doubles and various stage tanks.

Why do you use flippers when you go scuba diving?
Fins provide much greater force in water than your bare foot, due to the increased surface area. This increased force is necessary because the additional equipment needed for scuba diving (tank, buoyancy compensator, regulators, etc...) increases the amount of drag and weight of your body in the water. Without fins, you would use a great deal of energy and not get very far.

Is scuba diving when the tanks are floating on top of the water if not what type of diving is it when the tanks float on top?
Its not really scuba diving but its considered scuba diving. Also known as the hookah system. its when you have a gas powered motor pumping fresh air to the person or person's diving below, there can be up to four people diving off of one hookah system. the benefit of this system is that there is no decompression time and you can be underwater pretty much all day if someone fills the gas tank on the engine pumping air. but you are kinda tied down to something so i don't think its true scuba diving.

Is scuba diving safe for someone who had a disc replacement?
Of course the answer is you need to ask a doctor. The big concern I would have is not so much the actual diving, but the weight you are going to have on your back wearing the scuba gear in and out of the water - which will be greater than 50 pounds.
