Hi, I tried another diving board but haven't really had any answers so I'm hoping people will know here.
I'm a total newbie to diving (though I'd really like to sometime) but I recently thought of a warning system for if you're running low on air, I don't think it would be popular with people who dive regularly for fun but it might be useful for commercial stuff like diving schools, police divers etc. places which need to cover themselves more in the case of health and safety. I don't want to go too deeply into how it works because this is really just the beginnings of the idea and I'm not even sure it's viable yet
Anyway... in diving
You know how much air you have by the pressure in your breathing tank(s) right?
Are tanks refilled? If so...
How is a tank refilled?
Do you need special qualifications to refil a tank?
Is all pressure within the tank lost to refil?
How much time is an adequate warning to have if you are running low on air and you need to get up? (at average levels under the water)
How much time left in your tank is usually left as a safety margin if all goes well?
In deep sea diving...
What happens to the pressure in the tank the deeper you go?
Do the different gases in deep sea diving tanks create different pressures to normal diving tanks, less or more or the same?
Are tanks refilled? If so...
