Where can you get scuba tanks refilled other than at scuba shops?
You could buy your own portable diving compressor, my dive buddy has one, there not silly expensive . You must get fills from a compressor designed for diving (breathing) as the air is filtered and moisture removed.
Why does the red sea have some of the best scuba diving in the world?
The red sea has the best scuba diving in the world because of the sink boats and tanks to build up the reef.
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.
What is the downside of using a manifold setting while scuba diving with 2 tanks?
It increases failure points.
Mixture of gases for scuba diving tanks compared to normal atmospheric air?
Most SCUBA divers dive with compressed air, which is normal atmospheric air compressed into a scuba tank.
Why does a scuba diver need increased gas in the air tank?
Scuba divers require increased air pressures in their air tanks while diving because the pressure on their bodies increases.
Why only oxygen is not used in tanks of scuba divers?
Naturally the air we breath has 70% of nitrogen and only 21% of oxygen, this is done is scuba diving as well. Just oxygen is not enough for living, while oxygen is essential one.
Why can scuba diving tanks hold lots of air?
Because the air is compressed so that the same amount of air fills much less space meaning more can be put into a SCUBA cylinder. Normally a tank will be pressurised up to around 3000psi/200bar of pressure.
Are scuba tanks hydraulic or pneumatic?
SCUBA tanks are metal (usually steel or aluminum) that are filled with compressed air. This is loosely related to a pneumatic system.
What is an example sentence for the word tanks?
Hide behind those water tanks. The scuba tanks are filled and ready to go.
How much helium is in a helium tank?
The amount of helium in a tank depends on how big the tank is (volume), the pressure of the helium and its temperature. It is calculated from the ideal gas equation with allowance for compressibility.
What scuba equipment would you recommend for beginners?
Since I still consider myself a beginner at scuba diving, I would highly recommend obtaining your very own wet suit, flippers, mask, and snorkel before making any larger purchases such as a BCD, regulator, and tanks. I would check your local listings to find a dive shop in your town and they will be able to assist you in scuba lessons and certification.
