My old welding teacher was certified in underwater. He made about 450,000$ in 6 months working in some underwater oil field he also did the weld for the top drop of the Mamba in KC worlds of fun. Dude was awesome and new his shit well. I learned as much as I could from him. While he was my teacher.
@@fidelcollazo4262 it was part of a program for trade schools. My high school paid for half of the first year. The second year was basically 4000$ so about 8000$ for the whole course. But you can get grants or FAFSA help usually so my schooling was free.
@@fidelcollazo4262 fair warning. Welding can be easy but you have to be diligent and think out side the box. There are a lot of things I have had to weld in the field that school did not prepair you for. All I'm gonna say. And master your over head welds. It pays off.

Its crazy how you can find literally anything on youtube.. Great video by the way your teaching or encouraging people something not in the norm you know. Appreciate it
Back in the late '90's Camel smokes came in a German made tin box that fit in front pocket of mechanics' shop uniforms. Had a cherry fall into that pocket and the tin kept it there instead of burning through the shirt and onto the floor. Still have a scar on that nipple.
I can't watch this video and keep a straight face because I imagine my welding class like this underwater and everything's in slow motion 🤣 I lost it when he pulled up his belt. I find this setup hilarious because it looks like a welding table but underwater 😂 and I can't imagine seeing my wire brush float away 😆
This is fascinating to watch. The wikipedia page on hyperbaric welding, including wet underwater stick welding describes a switch being used by a second person at the surface when the welder is ready to go. How do they communicate with each other?
Most dive helmets have a wired communication set in them. The guy up top has a box that controls the divers air and sometimes that box has live video and communications feed.
This is the kind of work I'm going into, I love the water and I love welding so may as well combine the two, get paid good and get good experience in something I'm actually excited to do lol
I have a question, do you have to take courses specifically for underwater welding? I am asking because my husband is going to start welding courses possibly in the fall . I am doing as much research for welding itself but also underwater welding.
I didn’t see the weld, but he is learning well imo. It looks like he welds already, but isn’t used to the underwater gear. I bet it’s a tough skill set to master. Keep it up, you’re doing great!
Try keeping your rods in an oven too keep them fresh & winding up the amps for a better strike ark, also buy a can of Anti-splatter it works a charm...
How’s the job market for this profession? I went to Santa Barbara City College which have a marine technology program and the head manager for the program said that there are no jobs. What’s your take?
Sebastian Flores I am a structural welder (union ) here in nyc.I am a certified diver as well so I called the dock builders union because they do this kind of work here in nyc .they are well paid but starting out you only get like $12 per hour training...
Ha, its saturated. I believe there are more divers then jobs now. But its a job worth trying for. I was a 2ndclass deep sea diver back when they had the canvas suite and large copper/brass helmet. They don't use that stuff anymore.
A lot of people I went to AIT with that was there as a 12D (Deep Sea Diver) at Fort Leonard Wood, they went into underwater welding on the civilian side. Though while I was there, there would be a class of 30 or so people and after the first phase there would 1-3 people left, it would be a good addition to your resume on the civilian side. You get your SCUBA certification I believe plus underwater welding/salvage. EDIT: (Wanted to add some things to my original comment.)
Funny how I watch these video of these guys in their garage and showing them working on their work bench and this guy does like a normal day underwater welding who knows how deep in the ocean
@@tvtfever7307 electricity will not spead in the water, the electricity will go directly to the nearest ground, in this case the nearest ground is the vise then water , this guys should wearing rubber frog stuff on his feet so he's not grounded,what if i told you, if you're not grounded, you could touch live wire with only a little bit of shock.
@@joshuabronner5490 ok so you got the college. Now how about the job outlook? Don't give lip service for a college when he may not get the job at all after he graduates
Is this at CDA? I currently attend it looks like same gear and I think that’s the tank we use. You get 32 welds only one has to pass for certification.
@@95TurboSol well I guess its because the electricity goes to the other wire to follow the circuit. I dont know how to explain myself. When you weld normally the air ionizes and the electricity keeps flowing, but it goes to (or from) the 2nd wire wich I dont know the name in english. So underwater there is no ionitzation i guess? Im not sure anyways but I knew it was possible
Michael Smith they say offshore diving is the most profitable but for how many divers there are now a days we’re getting cheaper and cheaper and more replaceable because all the schools are pumping out 30+kids a month

After 2:07 he looks like he thinks: "wtf did i just do here it looks ike sh***t " 😂
For safety, be sure to keep that underwater fire extinguisher handy. Also need firewatch for an hour.

Is it possible in salt water ?

If you can weld in sewage it'll work anywhere. The rods are the same as regular rods just covered with a thick layer of wax
I sure would love to try this !! I have did every other kind of welding, I just never did any underground welding.. i allways wanted to do this !!
What could go wrong? Me too.
