What is the name of a compressed air cylinder used in skin diving?
Divers (and others) call the compressed air cylinders used by divers tank(s) or SCUBA tank(s).
Why do scuba divers need math?
they need to know how long they can be underwater, and how deep they can go with the air in the tank.
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.
Is there a way of breathing underwater using a small oxygen tank with a directly connected mouthpiece?
yes, basically you're just saying what scuba-divers do
How do scuba divers breathe underwater?
They don't breathe normally on their own.They have to use pressure regulators to breathe naturally, overcoming the extreme pressure deep underwater.A snorkel and oxygen tank help the divers breathe when they are underwater.
What is a gear divers use?
Equipment changes depending on the location of the dive and purpose. Basic equipment include, wetsuit, fins, snorkel and mask, lead weight, scuba tank, BCD (Buoyancy Compensation Device), and Regulator.
How do scuba divers alter their average density to float?
Divers usually increase their density by wearing a weight belt (which contains lead weights). Some divers also rely, to a lesser degree, on using steel tanks, which are more dense than aluminum tanks. To decrease their density, divers put air into a Bouyancy Control Device (BCD). Some divers may also control bouyancy by putting air into a drysuit if they wear one. Whereas the increase in density created by the weightbelt is normally fixed, the positive bouyancy provided by the BCD can be varied throughout the dive. Usually a divers net density will decrease over the dive - a diver with a full scuba tank has about 4.5 lbs of extra weight (the weight of the gas) over a diver with an empty scuba tank.
What do divers use to breathe underwater?
they use an air tank they put a mouth piece in there mouth and breath through it i know this because i went diving before oh and one last thing you have to keep an eye on how much air you have
