Our selection of small scuba tanks
What is a small dive cylinder?
The term "small tank" refers to all tanks with a volume of less than 2L. This type of diving tank arrived on the market a few years ago and has more recently experienced a boom with the desire to explore the sea bed more easily. These diving equipments allow to democratize scuba diving by offering a few minutes of autonomy under water to its users. These small-sized products can be carried everywhere and easily refilled with a hand pump or a compressor.
What are our best small tanks for diving?
There are many MiniDive cylinders divided into several categories:
- The safety products with the MiniDive Evo (0.2 L) and Evo+ (0.35 L), which allow you to have a few minutes of autonomy underwater by having the cylinder directly in your mouth thanks to its regulator head.
- Aluminum cylinders with the MiniDive Pro (0.5 L) and Pro+ (0.8 L) which have an average autonomy of 7 and 12 minutes respectively.
