I have seen this in tv. Some divers were underwater for about 3 minutes. I think it takes a life to achieve that.

Why did Jacques cousteau invent the aqualung?

Jacques Cousteau invented the Aqua-Lung to allow divers to explore underwater for longer periods without needing to surface frequently for air. This invention revolutionized underwater exploration by providing divers with the ability to breathe underwater using compressed air tanks.

What helps breathe under water?

Divers carry with them tanks containing air in them. The air present in these tanks has different composition from the normal air. It has 32% oxygen, 56% Nitrogen and 12% Helium. It is done so as to avoid creation of bends inside the body of divers when they come out of water.

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.


Why do scuba divers need to bring oxygen tanks while fishes do not?

Because fish have gills and can breathe under water and humans do not


What helps a diver breath?

Divers wear tanks full of oxygen to help them breathe while they are under water. When the tanks start to get empty, they resurface.


What are air tanks used for, and how do they work?

Air tanks, also known as compressed air tanks or cylinders. These are used to store air under high pressure for different applications. MasterAire stands on hi-tech infrastructure that includes core expertise in the air compressor industry. They are commonly used in scuba diving, firefighting, and industrial settings. The tanks are filled with compressed air and then used to provide a portable supply of air when needed. In scuba diving, for example, divers carry air tanks to breathe underwater. The pressure in the tank forces air through a regulator, which reduces the pressure to a breathable level. These tanks are usually made of steel or aluminum for durability.


Would a scuba divers tank filled with compressed air last longer than normal pressure air?

It definitely would. Also, a tank filled with non-compressed air would be nearly impossible to use because air wouldn't flow out of it without an enormous amount of effort. For these reasons, all tanks used by divers are filled with compressed air.


Can you get married underwater?

I pretty shore you can, if everyone has snorkles, suits, and just in case, a few air tanks.


Can white tigers breathe under water?

No. Only fish can. No other animals have gills or means of breathing underwater. Well, except those who have oxygen tanks that is. THEN you can breathe underwater.
