Okay,
I am aware of the basic theory behind the deeper you go, the more air compresses/density it becomes. For example, at 2 ATA (33'), the volume of the compressed air is 1/2 of that at 1 ATA (surface).
What I don't understand is how is it that the air is compressed when it is trapped in a steel tank? Any I looking at this the wrong way. Is it safe to say that as the air leaves my tank and enters my lung, then this is where it becomes compressed?
Thanks for clarifying
