No difference I was ever able to detect.

If the air from the tank smells or tastes at all, don't use it!

There should be NO odor or taste from your tank. If you detect something, tell the instructor/dive master immediately.

The only thing you will find is it is dry. Bring a bottle of water and perhaps some lip balm
Have a ball!

So is it just pure atmospheric air or mixed gas with oxygen ?

 

[j yaeger]

plain ole' air=21%o2!!!
run through a wringer to get rid of impurities

So is it just pure atmospheric air or mixed gas with oxygen ?

Yes.... on both accounts . It's normal air, with is approx 21% oxygen mixed with other gases, mostly nitrogen


As stated, all it is is super filtered, super dry and super compressed into a cylinder

Be careful what you eat before a dive or you will taste it the whole dive.

No burritos.

The most I ever taste is rubber. Like the others said: if you taste anything funny, let someone know and do not take it underwater.
