It depends on the size of the tank. The standard tank used at most Scuba diving training facilities use an aluminum 80. The tank weighs around 21 lbs. full. As the tank is used during diving it becomes more boyant, meaning that you need to use more weight at the end of the dive then you need at the beginning.

Depends on the manufacturer. Worthington's Steel 100 weighs 33lbs. Faber's weighs 34.3 and Sherwood's 36.4. There are a few other manufacturers but those would be the top three. Their bouyancy characteristics when full and empty is something to consider.
It depends upon what kind of tank you want to buy. You can buy AL80's (Aluminum cylinders holding 80CF of air) for between $175 and $200 us dollars. Purchasing larger tanks, such as steel 100's and 120's will cost significantly more, up to $400-450.

Diving cylinders are made to different sizes and out of different material. This means that they weigh all sorts of weight. They are also made to hold different maximum pressures. A cylinder rated to take 300bar needs thicker walls than one rated to take 200 bar and will therefore be heavier. A steel 12.2L cylinder filled to 232bar weighs about 15kg but it will weigh less when it is empty. Some cylinders actually float when they are empty and sink when they are full.
Really heavy!
10.56 tons
Different scuba gear types weigh different amounts. The oxygen tank is the heavy part of the scuba diving gear.
recreational diving is usually done with 3000 psi of air in a certified SCUBA tank
Swimming with an aqualung (also known as a scuba tank or scuba cylinder) and flippers is commonly referred to as "scuba diving." "Scuba" stands for "self-contained underwater breathing apparatus." In scuba diving, divers use specialized equipment, including a scuba tank containing compressed air or other breathing gas, a regulator to control the airflow, a buoyancy control device (BCD), and flippers (also known as fins) for underwater propulsion. Scuba diving allows individuals to explore the underwater world, observe marine life, and visit underwater environments at various depths. It is a popular recreational activity, as well as a professional and scientific endeavor. Scuba diving requires training and certification to ensure safety and competence in the use of the equipment and adherence to established diving procedures.
The vest is simply called a scuba vest. It's to hold your air tank and regulators :)
With scuba diving, you are diving with an oxygen tank on your back and a regulator in your mouth. For SNUBA, there isn't an oxygen pack on your back, instead your oxygen supply is a long hose attached to a raft on the surface of the water.
You'll either have to hold your breath or have a SCUBA tank.
In reference to scuba diving, "SPG" stands for "Submersible Pressure Guage", which tells you how much air is in your tank so you can resurface before going too low on oxygen.
No, but "scuba-diving" is a verb.
the silly answer is you can store anything in a scuba tank that you can get in it!!. BUTthe serious answer is scuba tank were designed for compressed air and nothing else... using a scuba tank for natural gas is like driving around with a bomb in your car!!, the valves and collars of the bottles are not strong enough if there was a crash
a breathing tank! try it its fun! (underwater swimming)
You could buy your own portable diving compressor, my dive buddy has one, there not silly expensive . You must get fills from a compressor designed for diving (breathing) as the air is filtered and moisture removed.
