An oxygen tank that enables breathing under water for a period of time. Can be refilled at a workbench or repair bench.
In Rust, Diving Tank has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on 4 world loot tables read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Worn units restore condition at a Repair Bench at zero material cost.
