Normal pressurized air is used for Scuba diving. However, you can get mixed gases for SCUBA diving such as Nitrox, which is mixed gases of nitrogen and oxygen. This is used by deep sea diving, but it takes special training.

How do divers get their air?

Divers typically get their air from a tank filled with compressed air, which they carry on their backs. This tank is connected to a regulator that controls the flow of air, allowing divers to breathe comfortably underwater. In some cases, divers may use alternative gas mixtures, such as nitrox or trimix, to extend their dive time or enhance safety. Surface-supplied diving systems are another option, providing air through a hose from a support vessel.
