| The skills and qualifications
suggested for entering the field of underwater welding are generally
recognized as an experienced welder-diver with commercial diving
skills. This means you should be familiar with the use of specialized
commercial diving equipment, have an understanding of diving
physiology, safety, rigging, the underwater environment and
communication. You should also be proficient in weld setup and
preparation skills such as those tasks typically assigned to
a fitter or rigger, such as materials alignment and materials
preparation including beveling, stripping of concrete, fitting
a steel patch or repair plate. In addition, you will have to
certify to a required underwater weld procedure. |
| |
| The majority of
work performed by an average welder-diver does not involve the
welding operation itself, but rather executing the tasks that
lead up to and follow the actual welding activities. Most important
is a welder-diver must possess both certified welder skills
and commercial diving skills. As a general rule, candidates
seeking underwater welding as a career will decide whether or
not they are comfortable with their career choice after completing
basic commercial dive training. |
| |
| Important
issues to consider: Age and physical limitations |
| |
| There is no age
restriction on commercial welder-divers. The commercial diving
profession is physical demanding. It is rare to see an active
commercial welder-diver over the age of 50. It is recommended
and generally required that all commercial divers pass an annual
dive physical. Some companies may have other requirements, subject
to the regulations of the country where they are located or
if the specific job has requirements beyond the standard. |
| |
| Career Opportunity |
| |
| Like many professions,
work availability is always subject to: supply vs. demand, the
economics of a given industry, whether you are free to relocate
outside your place of residence (including overseas), and other
related skills you have in addition to diving and welding. Recently
the devastating weather such as hurricanes has created employment
opportunities for those trained in under water welding.. |
| |
| There are a number
of career opportunities for experienced welder-divers. Many
go on to become engineers, instructors, and diving operations
supervisors, qualify as AWS Certified Welding Inspectors (CWI),
and serve as consultants for underwater welding operations and
other related fields.. |
| |
| A career as a welder-diver
can serve as a stepping stone to other opportunities for those
who choose the profession. |

The demand for
qualified commercial divers, especially in the gulf of Mexico,
is astounding, Why? According to an article in a recent issue
of Underwater Magazine, the deepwater sector of the Gulf of
Mexico has become the industry’s most active bit of
real estate. This means that the reservoir finds have led
to potentially dramatic growth in the U.S Crude reserves,
which in turn could pull up the nation’s production
numbers.As a result, major oil companies have made a long-term
commitment to exploration and development in the Gulf’s
deep water.
In other words, Gulf oil output is surging to it highest-ever
levels, and this surge of activity requires the knowledge
and skills of qualified commercial divers. |
