Best Answer

It costed me over five hundred dollars just to get me certified for open water diving four years ago at a max of thirty feet without a partner but if you go to your local Scuba store, they usually have signs up telling you how much lessons and the certification will cost NOT including the gear. Gear itself can easily climb up to at least a hundred dollars for specific parts and pieces. But the prices can also be fairly cheap if you know where to look. If you go to the related link (PADI), they have several places where you can get certified and get gear but prices are slightly high from where I get my stuff.

How do scuba divers sink if they have tanks of compressed air on their backs?

The average aluminum SCUBA cylinder holds 80 cubic feet of air at pressure. That means you are taking the equivalent of a closet's worth of air and smashing it into a cylinder much smaller than that. When full, the cylinder is at 3,000 pounds per square inch of pressure.When the valve is opened, it sends air into the (assumed) first stage regulator which is connected by hoses to gear such as two second stage regulators, instruments and your vest.So the SCUBA tanks don't so much USE the air so much as STORE the air at high pressures.


Explain why the pilot can breathe pure oxygen without negative side effects?

Pure oxygen is very harmful to humans at pressures higher than ground level, with the effects becoming worse the higher the pressure - ie. when scuba diving. At lower pressures, such as the cockpit of a plane at altitude, pure oxygen becomes much safer to breathe, to the point some astronauts have breathed it for around 2 weeks (at low pressure) with no detrimental effects.

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.

A scuba diving set can be anywhere from 50 to 100 dollars for a set to do a certification dive, but this is for just rental. I saw a scuba set for 1000 or 2000 dollars, but this is to buy the set. this was just a beginners set, however, and they can go for 5000 dollars for a good set.


Is scuba diving safe for someone who had a disc replacement?
