Yes, you can, but you need a fill adapter thing, they're like 25 bucks at most.

If you know where to buy a HPA fill station for $25, please let me know where.

Yes you can. Its all about volume. The big scuba tank has more volume so it takes more air to make it 3000psi. A normal tank is smaller so it takes less air to make it 3000psi. So you would be able to get a few fills out of it. Just find out how many cu it is and divide it by how much cu your tank is and you will find how many fills you will be able to get. But the pressure will also change so you might not get it up to 3000psi the 2nd or 3rd fill because the pressure inside of the tank. Its not that there isn't enough air its that there isn't enough pressure to pack that much air into your tank.
One tank at 3000psi will easily support one player all day, even if you shoot alot. It would probably even keep two going, depending on how much you shoot.
And the fill station I was referring to is the thingy thet hooks to your scuba and has a place to plug your bottle into for filling.

i knew what you meant. where can i get a fill station though???
Depends on where you live.
Your local paintball store should have them for $60 to $70.
If not go online.
Gank a 3000 psi compressor from your local construction site....opps...did I just say that? :goody:
