What Is a Scuba Tank?

A scuba tank (also called a diving cylinder) stores compressed breathing gas and powers your entire system, including your regulator and BCD. Choosing the right tank type, capacity, and valve system is essential for safe and efficient diving.

Aluminum vs. Steel Scuba Tanks

Aluminum Tanks: Lightweight and budget-friendly, aluminum cylinders are great for recreational diving. They’re negatively buoyant when full but tend to float when near empty. A top pick for warm water and casual divers.

Steel Tanks: Heavier but stronger, steel tanks hold higher pressures and maintain better buoyancy control. They’re ideal for cold water, technical diving, and sidemount or backmount twin tank setups.

Scuba Tank Capacities

Available in sizes from 80 to 149 cubic feet, our tanks suit every diving profile—from short shallow dives to extended deep explorations. High-capacity tanks are perfect for twin sets or sidemount diving in Canada.

Types of Scuba Tank Valves

Your scuba valve connects the tank to the regulator, controlling airflow and pressure. We offer three key valve styles:

K Valves: The industry standard in North America—simple, reliable, and user-friendly.

DIN Valves: Ideal for cold water and deep diving. Offers a threaded, sealed connection to prevent leaks—perfect for technical diving and sidemount tanks.

J Valves: Once popular, now rarely used. They featured a built-in reserve function but have largely been replaced by modern setups.

How to Choose the Best Tank or Valve

When buying scuba tanks or valves in Canada, consider your dive environment (cold or warm water), gear setup (single tank, sidemount, or twin backmount tanks), and tank material. For cold water and longer dives, steel tanks with DIN valves are the top choice.

Trusted brands like Faber, Catalina, H-2Odyssey, and XS Scuba ensure high-performance equipment that meets rigorous safety standards.
