Scuba divers require increased air pressures in their air tanks while diving because the pressure on their bodies increases.

What does a diver use to help them breathe underwater?

The diver uses an air tank, which is a tank filled with compressed air. It has a hose that goes from the tank to the mouth, which is held in the mouth by a 'mouth piece'. The tank has a regulator that allows the pressure in the tank to be regulated down for normal breathing.

Why do you need oxygen cylinders when you go scuba diving?

The simple answer is ... you don't. A majority of scuba dives use compressed air in the cylinders. Therefore you don't need "oxygen" cylinders. HOWEVER, if you are a diver that is diving on Nitrox, in which divers change the amount of oxygen vs nitrogen in their air, then your tank needs to be "oxygen clean" because you are putting oxygen in first, then nitrogen.


Is there scuba masks with oxygen in them?

Scuba masks do not contain oxygen. Instead, scuba divers rely on a separate piece of equipment called a tank or cylinder to supply compressed air or a breathing gas mixture for underwater breathing. The scuba mask's purpose is to provide a clear field of vision and to create an airspace for the diver's eyes and nose while underwater.
