Small Scuba Tank Air Duration: 3000 Psi at 10m Depth

To estimate dive time with a typical small 80 cubic foot aluminum tank filled to 3000 PSI, start by understanding your Surface Air Consumption (SAC) rate – the air you breathe per minute at the sur...

Mini Scuba Tank Rules in 5 Points

For safe mini tank use, understand its 2-10 minutes of air supply (highly dependent on depth and effort), strictly limiting dives to 10-20 feet (3-6 meters). Never hold your breath; breathe normall...

Beginner Guide: Using Small Tanks in 5 Steps

Select size (e.g., 80 cu ft or 100 cu ft) based on your planned dive duration and depth. Taller tanks (>30 inches) offer more air but consider weight and portability. Check tank pressure befo...

Avoid buying mistakes: 5 common mini tank purchase errors

Match size to air consumption. A typical surface dive (5m depth) with light activity uses about 0.8L per minute. A 1L tank lasts roughly 1 minute - test yours to know your actual rate. Check materi...

Mini tank lifespan: 5 storage tips to extend expiration

Store between 50-80°F (10-27°C) - temperatures above 90°F degrade materials 40% faster. Maintain humidity below 60% RH using silica gel packs; higher levels cause corrosion. Clean monthly with 70% ...

Mini scuba tank air time: How long 3000 PSI lasts at 10m depth

A fully charged 3000 PSI mini scuba tank (typically holding 0.5 - 0.75 cubic feet of air) provides limited time. At 10m depth (2 atmospheres absolute pressure), a diver consumes air twice as fast a...
