      Any long term effects from underwater welding (excessive pressure on the body for long duration, etc).

    • @A_Lemon_Party
      @A_Lemon_Party 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Studies do suggest some negative long term effects from deeper diving.. but the most common health issue i would say is hearing loss. The things that are most dangerous are the immediate ones such as DCS and AGE’s.

      @@racingfan8175 I think I have heard it is easier to teach a diver to weld than a welder to dive, but I may have that backwards....Jody at Welding Tips and Tricks has an hour podcast with a Diver Welder that is also great to listen to....
