What are scuba tanks made of?
Most scuba tanks are filled with simple purified air. However, some are filled with oxygen enriched air called 'nitrox' or (less commonly) a blend of helium, oxygen and nitrogen called 'trimix' or (even less commonly) helitrox or heliox.
Can you scuba dive with a pure oxygen tank?
No.
Why scuba divers use mixture of nitrogen and oxygen?
Most very deep dives are done in trimix, which is a mix of oxygen (actually very little of that), helium and nitrogen.For really deep dives, divers use heliox, which is a mix of pure helium and oxygen.And for really stupidly deep dives, divers use hyrdeliox(hydrogen, helium and oxygen).
Why only oxygen is not used in tanks of scuba divers?
Naturally the air we breath has 70% of nitrogen and only 21% of oxygen, this is done is scuba diving as well. Just oxygen is not enough for living, while oxygen is essential one.
