well i got a few dives in now and i am the kind of person that dosent want to know that something works but i want to know why or how it works. i have been reading some theorys and laws of gasses and i came up with a question maby someone here can help me with. charles law states that a gas that is heated expands and builds about 5psi per degree of tempature and that is why when a scuba tank gets cooled (like taking it down below a 50deg thermocline) that the pressure drops because the cooling gasses condense. well my question is this. has anyone ever tried to heat a tank at depth? or even insulate the tank to keep the tempature swing to a minimum? i think a person could possiably aleviate some of the problems we face with breathing compresed air at depth.
