Scuba tanks eventually wear out, which is why it is important to follow the regulations on getting your tank tested.  You wouldn’t want to be diving with a tank that was compromised in any way due to dents, rust, or cracks.  Here at Dive HQ Christchurch, on the occasion that a tank fails a Hydro or Visual test, our customers often leave the tanks with us and we make sure they are disposed of.  Then there are some customers who find a creative way to use their tank.  Being a strong heavy material makes them perfect for some of the following ideas…

The Scuba Letter Box – complete with a Dive Flag!

      
Tank Lamps or Candle Holders.  They make a great lamp shade, or base, especially if you engrave the tank.

The Tank BBQ or Fish Smoker

Get creative with Cylinder Wind Chimes

The Tank Ashtray, or perhaps a healthier option – the Cylinder Phone Holder

Save your pennies inside a Tank Piggy Bank!

 
Tank Book Ends and the popular Tank Umbrella holders

 
If you are feeling really inspired, you may even wish to make a Tank Cannon!

If you have any other creative ideas for a failed scuba tank, the team at Dive HQ Christchurch would love to hear about them.
