it only depends on how deep the water is which is probably almost 6-7 feet and higher, so that's what makes them kind of come up slowly, because the water is kind of deep

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.

Why are most scuba diving helments brown?

SCUBA means self contained breathing apparatus. Most scuba divers wear neoprene hoods and these come in a variety of colours. I think you are talking about standard dress or hard hat diving where the diver has a big spherical helmet and lead boots. These divers are not SCUBA as they have air pumped from the surface. These helmets look brown because they are made of brass and copper which turns brown when it oxidises. If you polished it up, it would look gold in colour.

Can you scuba dive if you have frequent migraines?

In general, frequent migraines should not prevent you from scuba diving if you are not having one at the time. Please consider that scuba diving, because of the change in barometric pressure - can be a migraine trigger. To try avoid barometric migraine, even if you aren't deep enough in water to cause the Benz, make sure you go down and come up slowly, giving your body time to adjust. Some people also find that extended pressure on the scalp can be a trigger, so find swim goggles that are comfortable. You might want to make sure they don't trigger a migraine before you go under the waves. If sunlight is a trigger for you, make sure you are wearing a hat and sunglasses on your way to the beach. Also consider, that if your migraines cause confusion or loss of vision - it is especially important that you be with your scuba buddy at all times, and that he or she is aware that you may have difficulty.

What is left inside the tank if you are scuba diving and use up all the air?

There will be air left in the tank. But it is not under enough pressure to come out of the bottle and into your lungs. There may actually be enough air to 'hiss' out once you get to the surface because it is no longer subject to the pressure of the water.
