Is there a difference in a scuba tank and a paintball tank?
Yes the main difference is a SCUBA tank is used for high pressure breathing air (3200-5000 PSI). A paintball tank has a lower PSI rating and is also measured in ounces not PSI. Even though most people use a breathing air compressor to fill paintball tanks.
How many CFM of air are used when breathing at 25 feet depth?
It depends you the divers lung capacity and how many breathsper minute they take. But in general it would be 1.3 to 1.8.
What are two of the limitations of using self-contained breathing apparatus in confined space?
Provide a limited air supply
Bulky and limit mobility
What is a diving under water with a breathing tube?
Diving underwater with a breathing tube, commonly known as snorkeling, involves using a snorkel, which is a tube that allows the diver to breathe while their face is submerged in water. Snorkelers typically wear a mask to see underwater and fins to aid in swimming. This activity enables individuals to observe marine life and underwater ecosystems without the need for more complex diving equipment. It is often done in shallow waters, making it accessible to people of various skill levels.
How fast can a diver ascend from a deep dive?
Depends how deep they are, how much oxygen they have, how long they've been under & if you want to spend hours in a decompression chamber to reduce the nitrogen count.
What is the side effect to helium for SCUBA divers?
There are no "side effects" as it is an inert gas just like nitrogen. While helium does have benefits, the only drawback (in addition to expense) is it can actually decrease the no-stop time limits.
A pearl diver earns an average amount of money. Around 700 dolars per month. They don't earn to much. A pearl diver earns an average amount of money. Around 400 dolars per month. They don't earn to much.
What happened if you catch or corner a leprechuan?
if you capture a leprechaun, he will grant you 3 wishes or give you a gold coin according to Irish folklore.
Show boyles law report on an application of boyles law?
Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume when temperature is held constant. One practical application of Boyle's Law is in breathing: when the diaphragm contracts, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases, leading to a decrease in pressure. This pressure difference causes air to flow into the lungs. Conversely, when the diaphragm relaxes, the volume decreases, increasing pressure and forcing air out of the lungs.
Why do divers have to get depressurized?
So they dont get the Benz which is basically bubbles in your intenstines.
You need to take good pictures and pick the best ones. The only rare sea animals I know of on hard are the dolphin, ( in the begining ) the sea ray thing ( the trench ) and he turtle ( also in the trench ) I heard there was a whale too but I could never find it. Hope this helps =)
If no friction acts on a diver during a dive?
More friction acts on a diver when they dive because of the increased density of the water.
In which part of the ear does pressure need to be equalized when changing altitude or scuba diving?
The part of the ear that needs to be equalized during diving is called the Middle ear.
The pressure in the outer ear will change with the pressure in the water you are diving through. Between the outer ear and the middle ear is the Tympanic Membrane, or "Eardrum", which will bend, when pressure in the outer ear and the middle ear isn't equal, causing umpleasantness or pain.
This is countered by blowing air into the middle ear by what's called the Eustachian Tubes. By blowing extra air into the middle ear, the pressure inside the middle ear will increase, and since the Eardrum is the only flexible part of the middle ear, the increased pressure inside the middle ear, will cause the Eardrum to bend back to its original position. Hence, equalization...
Can you go scuba diving with Breast Implants?
As breast implants do not contain compressables (neither saline nor silicon implants contain air), there is no inherent problem presented by SCUBA diving with implants. YOu can indeed SCUBA with implants. Have fun. yes

Does a partial rebreather mask breath in CO2?
yes but only the ambient CO2 it is a NITROX mask for elevated O2 between 40 and 60 % the rest is AIR which contains Co2 at atmospheric pressure.. 1 BAR
Addition
Assuming you are talking about some kind of full face diving mask with a regulator attached, you will be rebreathing some gas you have exhaled. So yes, you will be rebreathing CO2 - which will be at a greater concentration as well as a greater partial pressure than the CO2 at atmospheric pressure. But it will be minor amounts. However if you are talking about a hospital type of application then it is a different answer.
How much do you tip your dive master?
We tip $10 per person (husband and I) for each day of two tank dives - especially if they help change over our gear, take us some place special, etc. From ScubaBoard.com: October 1999 of "Rodale's Scuba Diving" magazine: "For those interested in tipping, guidelines for day dive boats include: (1) Gratuities are just that, something given voluntarily and beyond obligation for a service rendered. They are not mandatory; (2) An appropriate amount is somewhere between 10-15 percent of the cost of the diving expenses, not including gear rental, park or chamber fees, and other incidentals. This amount should be adjusted so as to fit the level of service, with a range of 0 to 15 percent being acceptable, although some generous divers do leave more; (3) In most situations, you need tip only one crew member, often the DM who primarily attended you. The tip will be shared among the crew according to their internal agreements. If a particular crew member rendered a special service which was above and beyond the call of duty, e.g., brought a piece of his personal gear from home for your use, cleaned up after you following an episode of sea sickness, etc., then an individual gratuity could be justified; and (4) If your crew changes every day, tips will probably be most fairly shared if given daily. If your crew is stable and you desire to consider tips at the end of the trip, let the DM know. Of course, human nature being what it is, the immediate rewards of a tip at the end of each diving day may result in the best service."
The final pressure group you would be in is M.
How far can a person dive in the water with a diving suit and an oxygen tank?
"Oxygen tank" complicates this answer. Oxygen breathed at depth can have some very unpleasant symptoms. Think of the O2 as the paramedics do. Oxygen is a drug, and you can overdose by taking a lot at once or a little for long periods of time. The deeper you go, the higher the partial pressure of oxygen, the greater the dose your body takes on.
Depending on how long you stay, you can dive to 20 - 50 feet of sea water. However, you won't have but a few short minutes at 50 fsw, before you suffer from CNS Oxygen Toxicity.
However, if you were asking about an "average" SCUBA diver, breathing compressed AIR... The recreational limit is typically 130 fsw. This limit is in place due to the effects of nitrogen narcosis (AKA "rapture of the deep") and once again, partial pressure (of NITROGEN this time) is to blame.
Navy Deep Sea Divers are qualified to 190 fsw, but these depths are usually considered "exceptional exposure" dives. They are most often performed while wearing a hard hat diving rig, with surface supplied air, and a support staff tending topside.
What actions should a diver take to reduce drag and therefore the amount exertion during a dive?
Make sure that all you gear is close into your body making you more streamlined, don't let hoses dangle. Also a good horizontal body position helps.
