suggested that a dive physical be taken regardless, to avoid going through the
expense of training only to later find you have a disability that prevents your
entering the profession. Once that basic commercial diver training is
completed, it is common practice to apply for employment at one of many
commercial diving companies that offer underwater welding as a service. An
interview with the company of your choice is recommended to express your
career goals in underwater welding and past welding experience. Expect to
begin your career as a diver tender (apprentice diver) initially. As a diver
tender you will gain valuable practical experience while learning the trade.
3. I am already a certified diver, what other training do I need to
qualify as a welder-diver?
The welding processes, classes of weld and qualification tests
associated with underwater welding are described in ANSI/AWS D3.6. We
recommend the specification as a reference for weld procedure and welder
qualification. It is also a good source of other helpful information. If you are
already certified as a "commercial diver" and work for a company that offers
underwater welding services, it is recommended that you communicate to
your company your career objectives and ask what welder skills they are
looking for. If you are certified as a "scuba diver", it is suggested that you
attend a commercial diving school. Sport dive training does not include the
safe use of commercial diving equipment, offshore commercial work
environment/safety, and other education. Underwater welding is a skill you
also have to master once you obtain the basic commercial diving skills
required.
4. What are the age limitations of a welder-diver?
There is no age restriction on commercial welder-divers. There are,
however, physical requirements. It is recommended and generally required
that all commercial divers pass an annual dive physical. The commercial
diving profession is physical demanding. It is rare to see an active
commercial welder-diver over the age of 50.
5. What salary can I expect to make as a welder-diver?
We know some welder-divers earn $15,000 per year while others earn
in excess of $100,000. Because the majority of welder-divers are paid on a
project-by-project basis, salaries are subject to the same variables as work
availability. In addition, other factors such as depth, dive method and diving
environment affect pay rates. The company with whom you gain employment
should be able to tell you the salary range you can expect to earn.
6. What other skills are recommended to supplement my
qualifications as a welder-diver?
Ideally, a diving contractor would like its welder-divers to be "a jack of
all trades and a master of them all!" Practically speaking, possessing the
