Entry # 10 scuba tank
Just today it reached the highest temperature its been all year. So with the rising heat I thought it would be a good idea to hop into the pool and cool off, but I thought to myself that's boring. So to make it more interesting I decided to make my own custom scuba tank.
First I had to decide what to use for my oxygen tank. I thought long and hard about what to use, and i decided to use a spray tank like the ones sprayers use. After I bought the tank I had to clean it out really well because it comes from the factory with chemicals in it to keep it preserved. After I washed it out i decided to test it. I got my swim suit on and jumped into the pool where I ran into my first problem. The tank floated. I once again got out of the pool to attach some weight onto the tank so that it would sink. Once I got the weights on there it started to work much better. There are still a few tweaks that I have to do such as adding a strap to attach it to my back and add more efficient weight.
