Scuba tanks

Scuba tanksA scuba tank is a necessary piece of scuba gear. Also called scuba cylinders, scuba tanks hold compressed air for you to breathe while under the water. Scuba tanks are made from steel or aluminum. Steel tanks are more expensive, but also more durable.

Scuba tanks come in a variety of sizes. Those looking for a smaller tank should try a “pony tank”. Most dive shops rent aluminum tanks, as steel tanks do require more maintenance and cleaning. Trying different tanks will help you decide which size and material is best for you!
