What is the maximum time you can get out of a scuba tank?

well yea he is right to a point. it falls on the person that is using the tank. the bigger and/or taller the person is the more air they would use and the smaller the less. easy way to explain it is. think of a small car vs a huge truck. which uses more gas ??

Swim under the water.  That builds up more endurance.  Go side to side in the pool.  You can probably go one way without taking a breath.  You definitely need goggles for this. Underwater is often the fastest way because there is less turbulence.

like the other person said, it is possible especially if you have had alcoholic beverages, or if you are a deep sleeper, but also if you have had a long hard day at work or have worked for (let's say) 24 hours straight through. It is possible to drown in the tub, even in only enough water to cover the mouth and nose.

You being a new diver I would recommend zero alcohol consumption if you are going to scuba dive. Either drink or dive, one or the other, but not both. ( I'm not condoning drinking one way or the other for you, just answering your question about drinking and diving).  Actually, the biggest health problem from alcohol, except for the obvious, while scuba diving is dehydration.\nI'm sure you have experienced, after a night of drinking, you wake up the next day being very thirsty.  All you want to do is drink water or some other non-alcohol drink to quench that thirst. \nSo, dehydration is a big health danger while diving, because the air you breath from your tank is compressed and very, very dry!!! This compressed dry air sucks the moisture from your body very rapidly while diving, which dehydrates you even more.  Have you ever experience a dry parched feeling throat after diving?  That is the air from your scuba tank taking the moisture from your body. I'm sure your scuba instructor told you to drink lots of water before and after diving.  That's why!!!\nSo, in my professional opinion, please do not drink if you are scuba diving, because you are so new to diving. Just don't want you to hurt yourself.\nIf you aren't going to take my advice about zero alcohol, then no more then two drinks, and then drink plenty of water. No sport drinks or Gatorade, bad for you if you're scuba diving, just water. Hope you have a great time on your vacation.....Be Safe!!!

You'd have to live in a bubble (an airtight structure).  And going outside would be like going under water.  You could only go for a minute (max) without having to "come up for breath".

you can go until you hit water

The maximum length of the tube is around fifty centimetres (twenty inches). A longer tube would place the lungs in deeper water where the surrounding water pressure is higher and the lungs would be unable to inflate when the diver inhales, because the muscles that expand the lungs are not strong enough to operate against the higher pressure.

"The larger species can hold their breath longer then the smaller species.  Emperors have been recorded at depths of over 1700ft for 18 minutes while little blue penguins can dive to over 200ft for about 1 minute."

Depends on where you're at.\n\nI learned when I was living in Thailand for a month. But I have continued my experiences in Brazil, Japan, the Philippines, Australia, and Guam to name a few.\n\nNot knowing where you are or your situation you can learn on vacation trips or pretty much at any certified scuba center near you. You can also search online or the yellow pages for local places nearest you.

world record : 8minutes 58 seconds by Tom Sietas.\n\ni heard some pearl divers holding their breath 13 minutes but it is a hearsay..

Even if you ran out of air on a dive (oops!), you won't get water in your tank, because there's still a few bar/PSI  of pressure left in there ('cos of the way your regulator works). The O-ring should be healthy, but that's to keep the air in, not the water out!\n\nScuba air is just normal atmospheric air that's been dried really thoroughly (that's why it gives you a dry mouth during the dive), so that the cylinder won't corrode/ rust from the moisture content in normal air.\n\nThe only way that water can get inside your tank is from atmospheric air (or water!), if you drain your tank completely AND leave the valve open AFTER the dive, so undried air can get in (or you drop it off the dive boat by the dock!).\n\nIf you did that accidentally, then yes, you should get the tank serviced. 'Specially if it happens more than once...

Theoretically no, but usually the max. is 5-6 min.
