Scuba Tanks are a cylinder container made from steel or aluminum.
Scuba Tanks hold different amounts of air so Its vital to select the right volume Scuba Tank as different sizes are made for different purposes.
The difference between an aluminum tank and a steel tank are that a steel tank ´besides the price´ is that it may rust internally over time. Whereas, an aluminum tank will not.

For example, an aluminum tank threads have had a tendency to strip out or have cracked in once in a while than a steel tank.
And most aluminum tanks have a positive buoyancy.
In general most Scuba Divers start with the a basic AL80 Tank because of the price difference.

Clearly reading from a prompt.
Where the hell did you get the DOT mandates scuba tank inspection every 5 years?
Absolute horse shit…
This was a quick rundown on the types of steel cylinders….not the true difference between High and Low Pressure cylinders and how it affects the tanks capacity. Also, don't read of a board…if you truly know your stuff, you can just talk about it.
This would be better if the speaker were talking off the cuff about the subject rather than reading it off of a card which does not look credible nor hold an audience.
Really annoying that the guy keeps looking at something to the left of the camera. If you have to read everything, maybe a bit of rehearsing would help..
