Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to dive into the ocean’s wonders! But before you take the plunge, you need the right scuba tank—your lifeline underwater. At Xiamen Subang Technology Co., Ltd., we specialize in high-quality diving equipment, and we’re here to help you pick the best tank for your needs.

Key Factors When Choosing a Scuba Tank

🔹 Material:

• Aluminum Tanks: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and great for warm-water diving.

• Steel Tanks: Durable, negatively buoyant (helps with diving posture), and ideal for cold water or technical diving.

🔹 Capacity & Pressure:

• Standard sizes: 80 cu ft (most common for recreational diving) or 100+ cu ft (for longer dives).

• Working pressure: 200 bar (standard) or 300 bar (higher capacity, but requires compatible gear).

🔹 Valve Type:

• Yoke (INT) Valve: Common for recreational diving.

• DIN Valve: More secure, preferred for technical or cold-water diving.

🔹 Buoyancy & Weight:
Consider how the tank affects your buoyancy—steel tanks sink, while aluminum tanks become more buoyant as air depletes.

🔹 Maintenance & Inspection:
Always check for hydrostatic testing dates (required every 5 years) and visual inspections (annual) to ensure safety.
