I have been scuba diving for years and I can tell you that you do not want to try and wear an actual tank as part of your costume. While slighltly negatively or positively bouyant in water, they are quite heavy on land and on top of that you would need to wear a harness or BCD to hold the tank. You could possibly use a so called "pony bottle", a type of small tank, but I think your best bet is something homemade and light to resemble a tank An actual regulator might work as an accessory. You might try contacting a dive shop to see if they might have some mock ups that they would be willing to lend you.
