Scuba diving tanks or cylinders are usually made of steel or aluminium. You can also get light weight high pressure cylinders made out of thin aluminium with carbon fibre on the top. These are often used by fire fighters.

Why is the air in an air tank so compressed while scubadiving?

Let's consider a 10L tank full of air at a pressure of 200bar. That's 200x10=2000 litres. You'd need a BIG tank to hold 2000L. At depths we breath more air, so 2000-2400 is an average amount of air a diver would take down for an hour's recreational dive

How can you increase the pressure in your bladerless water well tank?

Use an air compressor with an adapter fitting that will allow you to push air in through a spicket on the tank. I made an adapter with a water pressure tester gauge (that is made to attach to a water (hose) spicket.) I then took off the gauge and installed a quick connect air fitting (standard on air equipment and air hoses).
