What is a "diving cylinder"?
A diving cylinder, also known as a scuba tank, is a pressurized container that holds compressed air for use during a dive. It provides the diver with a breathable supply of air while underwater. The cylinder is made of durable materials like aluminum or steel to withstand high pressure. Divers typically carry the cylinder on their back, and it connects to a regulator to allow air to flow safely to the diver's mouth. The size and pressure of the cylinder determine how long a diver can stay underwater, and it must be carefully monitored to avoid running out of air.
Example
The diving cylinder was heavy, but it gave me the air I needed for the dive.
Before going underwater, we checked that the diving cylinder was full.
She strapped the diving cylinder to her back and prepared to enter the water.
