Answer: The Diver's air tank is filled with oxygen gas.
The filling of air tank while keeping in water can be explained in reference to the Charles' Law.
Charles' Law: It states that the volume of the ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.
(at constant Pressure)
The Scuba tank contains cold water and is present at high pressure. The gas which is put in the tank will be compact and would not expand. As the temperature is low inside the tank, hence by using Charles' Law, the volume will also decrease inside the tank.
When the air tank is filled, it is always kept in a tub of water because the pressure is high and hence, more oxygen gas can be filled inside the air tank.
