Aldo:

On a boat, Kevlar would be pretty good for tanks not
intended for underwater use such as argon tanks used
for purging the air from drysuits, oxygen bottles for
portable use, and maybe CO2 firefighting bottles
(although 1800# rated aluminum bottles are pretty
light anyway).  If they were available in really large
sizes, they could replace at least some of the K
bottles many boats carry.

The water getting between the layers of Kevlar is not
much of a concern since ballasting problems make it a
dumb idea to take such a tank underwater anyway.
