Scuba divers typically use one tank, which is sufficient for most recreational diving activities. However, for deeper dives or longer durations, some divers may opt to use two tanks for increased air supply and safety. This setup can also be useful in technical diving or in situations where redundancy is critical. Ultimately, the choice between one or two tanks depends on the dive plan and the diver's experience level.

Is the oxygen and nitrogen in a scuba tank considered a heterogeneous?

I would think so, because there are two of them mixed together. Air in a scuba tank or anywhere else should be heterogeneous. A scuba tank filled with either oxygen or nitrogen would be homogeneous.


How do scuba divers sink if they have tanks of compressed air on their backs?

The average aluminum SCUBA cylinder holds 80 cubic feet of air at pressure. That means you are taking the equivalent of a closet's worth of air and smashing it into a cylinder much smaller than that. When full, the cylinder is at 3,000 pounds per square inch of pressure.When the valve is opened, it sends air into the (assumed) first stage regulator which is connected by hoses to gear such as two second stage regulators, instruments and your vest.So the SCUBA tanks don't so much USE the air so much as STORE the air at high pressures.


What buoys mark scuba divers diving?

The dive flag(s) that alert surface traffic that there are divers below (also sometimes the "code alpha") can be one or two flags. The First flag you would always see (if a flag is flown at all) is the square, red flag with a diagonal white stripe down the center. One you may see accompany the red/ white flag is a blue and white striped pendant.


When was the scuba created?

The first record of "breathing underwater" is traced back to 100BC and the Egyptians who used goat bladders to dive under the water. The two hose SCUBA regulator has is beginnings with Jacques Cousteau and the US Divers regulators in the late 1960's. The modern SCUBA apparatus is tied to developents in the late 1970's in Australia where a local developed two stage regulation, the forerunner of modern Poseidon rigs. This is the industry standard today.

Is the oxygen and helium in a scuba tank a compound or heterogeneous?

The oxygen and helium in a scuba tank are considered a homogeneous mixture, not a compound or a heterogeneous mixture. In this case, the gases are mixed together uniformly, and their individual properties remain unchanged. A compound consists of two or more elements chemically bonded together, while a heterogeneous mixture would have distinct, separate components.


How close is the film Open Water to real life?

The film is, in fact, based on a real life event. Two scuba divers were left behind when the dive boat that took a group out went back without them. They were stranded in waters inhabited by sharks.

What type of verbal is to scuba dive?

It is very hard to, but you can. You mostly communicate with hand signals in scuba diving, however. There are expensive tools to communicate with a type of 2-way radio underwater.AdditionActually you can. There are several ways. One is through bone conduction, If you place your chin on the other divers head and then talk, you can be understood. If you are close to their ear, you can also just talk. And still another way is if you have a glove, you can take it off and fill it with air and then talk into the glove. Of course the closer you are to their ear the easier they can understand you. If you are wearing hoods, these methods are more difficult to be understood.
