    One of the hardest scuba diving sites is at Black Water in Kona, Hawaii. This night dive involves tying scuba divers to the bottom of a boat and suspending them in pitch-black water.

    What is the hardest part of scuba diving?

    The most difficult ability for a lot of new divers is learning to control their fear when they have water up their nose. It can be quite difficult for others to distinguish between breathing through their nose and their mouth.

    How long does 1 scuba tank last?

    Typically, an average scuba tank filled to 200 bar (3,000 psi) can last 30 to 60 minutes at a depth of 10 to 18 meters. Deeper dives or faster breaths can reduce the lasting duration.
