This might have been a concern in scuba diving 50 years ago, but it’s not today. Your scuba tank is connected to a pressure gauge that indicates the pressure inside the tank at all times. During your Discover Scuba Diving experience, your instructor will monitor your tank’s pressure closely, and you’ll exit the water long before it runs out.
