What is a J Cylinder?

A J cylinder is a type of scuba diving tank known for its distinctive size and capacity. It is a critical component of a diver’s breathing apparatus, holding compressed air that allows for underwater respiration. These cylinders are integral to both recreational and professional diving, providing the necessary air supply for extended periods underwater. Named after its shape and size, the J cylinder has become a standard in the diving community due to its reliability and capacity, making it suitable for various types of diving activities, from shallow recreational dives to deeper, more technical dives.
