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.

How do divers use gas?
Some diver use nitrogen to stay underwater for longer but usually compressed air is usedfor those who don't use nitrogen
Why does a balloon filled with helium gas rise to a particular height and doesn't rise further?
That is because the Pressure inside the balloon caused by the filled pressure reached equilibrium at this point based on the height so can rise no longer.
How can you relate temperature and volume with pressure?
if you have a closed bottle or can, etc. , of water and you heat it up to a high enough temperature, then pressure builds up, right? Well if the container is filled with water then the pressure will build up faster, causing the container to burst, but if the container is only filled maybe halfway, it will take a little longer for the pressure to build up enough to cause the container to burst.
Why cant a substance no longer be compressed when changes from gas to liquid?
A lquid has a more compact structure.
Does coal burn hotter than wood?
Yes and for longer. Coal is essentially compressed wood.
Do you have to change the water pressure tank when is filled with water?
The pressure tank is supposed to have an air pocket in it. The air is contained inside a bladder like an inner tube. When the the bladder fails the air is absorbed into the water and the pressure tank no longer does it job and must be replaced to prevent damage. The most commonly ruined item by this failure is the water pump on your system.
What is the scientific reason for gases can be compressed very easily but solid and liquids are imcompressible?
Because the intramolecular forces of solids and liquids already provide an amount of force compressing the atoms to a point that they are no longer as easily compressed.
Why was the Tower of London moat filled in?
Because it was no longer needed for defensive purposes.
Why is it dangerous to allow air bubbles into the brake fluid?
Air unlike brake fluid can be compressed. When there is air in the brake system it compresses when you apply the brakes. This causes a loss of brake pressure on the brake pads and results in much longer stopping distances. This is dangerous and will cause an accident.
Why do scuba divers wear heavy metallic suits?
Scuba divers do not wear heavy metal suits. Perhaps you are referring to the bulky looking Mark 5 dive gear with the large helmet and the breast plate that weighs 64 pounds. Suit weighs 25 lbs. Each shoe weighs 25 lbs. Oh, the weight belt the diver wears is 60 to 80 lbs. All this weight is needed to get the diver to sink from all the air inside the helmet.
Why does a compressed air can get cold?
When the can is held upright and activated, gas flows out through the nozzle. The pressure inside the can therefore drops, and is no longer sufficient to keep the contents as a liquid; so some of the liquid boils, until the equilibrium pressure is re-established. The vaporization of a liquid is endothermic, so heat is absorbed, and the can becomes cold. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_duster
Does everyone have a blood pressure?
Yes, everyone has a blood pressure. If someone does not have a blood pressure, that means they are no longer living.
