Tanks
 Scuba
Diving Tanks or Cylinders allow the diver to have
his / her own source of air. Scuba Tanks are a cylinder
container made from steel or aluminum. Scuba Tanks
hold different amounts of air so It’s vital
to select the right volume Scuba Tank as different
sizes are made for different purposes.
The difference between an aluminum tank and a steel
tank are
that a steel tank 'besides the price' is that it may
rust internally over time, as where an aluminum tank
will not.
Although
an Aluminum tank may seem the way to go it is
not always the case. For example an aluminum tanks
threads
seem to strip out in allot of cases and most aluminum
tanks have a positive buoyancy and also can crack
a lot easier than a steel tank.
In
general most Scuba Divers start with the a basic AL80
Tank,
because of the price difference. If you purchase an
aluminum tank make sure it is manufactured by Catalina
Tanks. They are inexpensive and will last a lot longer
than other aluminum brands out there on the market.
There
are several SCUBA cylinder manufacturers, and the
specifications for their cylinder pressures, dimensions,
and capacities are constantly changing. Divers can
choose between SCUBA cylinders manufactured from aluminum
or steel. Cylinder pressures span a wide range, but
the most common pressures are "low" (2400
to 2640 psi), "standard" (3000 psi), and
"high" (3300 to 3500 psi). They are available
in a huge selection of capacities as the primary dive
supply ranging from 50 cubic feet to 150 cubic feet.
Cylinder coatings fall into three general classifications
of painted, galvanized, and uncoated.

line brand name Scuba Tanks in assorted sizes and
