Welcome to scuba tanks
Scuba Tanks or Scuba cylinder as they are also
known come in two types:
Steel Scuba Tanks
These are more expensive than aluminium scuba tanks but they are
more durable. These scuba tanks are excellent for a high
capacity of air at low pressures. Properly maintained
these steel scuba tanks will last for years.
Aluminium Scuba Tanks
These are the most common scuba tanks because they are long
lasting and cheaper than steel scuba tanks. They are lighter
making them easy to carry and wear.
The size of the scuba tanks you require is determined by the
amount of air you will need, together with size, your fitness
level, and other factors.
Another type of scuba tank which is becoming increasingly popular is the pony bottle. A pony bottle is a little extra tank which straps to your gear, It has separate staged regulators and sometimes gauges as well. In case your equipment malfunctions or you misjudge your air consumption the pony bottle contains enough air to do a proper slow ascent to the surface.
