The pressure in the scuba tanks will remain constant, assuming the volume of air in the tank does not change and there are no leaks. However, the temperature of the compressed air may drop due to the lower temperatures at deeper depths. It’s important to note that while the temperature of the air decreases, this does not directly affect the pressure inside the tank unless the tank is also cooled significantly, which isn't typically the case for scuba tanks during diving. The pressure in the tank is determined by the amount of gas (in this case, compressed air) it contains.
Compressed air in scuba tanks cools off as a diver swims at deeper levels. The pressure in the tanks will ___
