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.

What percentage of gases do we breath in
Regulator is what you breathe in
Normal pressurized air is used for scuba diving. However, you can get mixed gases for SCUBA diving such as Nitrox, which is mixed gases of nitrogen and oxygen. This is used by deep sea diving, but it takes special training.
You can breathe underground by using submersible breathing aparatus similar to scuba gear used by divers.
No, the scuba apparatus will not fit a threaded tank.
It enables you to breathe underwater.Most people enjoy scuba for purely recreational reasons, but obviously it also has commercial and military applications.
We breathe in all gases present in the air. The two most abundant constituents of air are nitrogen and oxygen.
