skills that are common to underwater welding operations, in addition to

welding and diving, are recommended. Primarily these skills are: underwater

cutting (oxyfuel, abrasive water jet, mechanical cutting equipment, etc.);

fitting and rigging; inspection and nondestructive testing (visual, magnetic

particle, ultrasonics, radiography, eddy current, etc.); drafting; and

underwater photography (still photo and video). The more skills the welder-

diver maintains the more valuable he becomes in meeting project

qualification requirements. The most desirable underwater welder-divers are

those who are qualified to: assist the diving contractor in pre-job planning

(e.g., having the ability to photograph/video, draft and report on work

requirements prior to the actual underwater welding operation); cut, clean,

rig, install, and fit up the sections they will weld; and work with personnel

responsible for inspecting the completed welds. Formal training is

recommended for whatever skills you wish to qualify for. Maintaining the

qualifications you obtain is just as important as receiving them as there has

been many a job lost to a welder-diver who has let his certification lapse.

7. What future career opportunities are there for an experienced

welder-diver?

There are a number of career opportunities for experienced welder-

divers. Many go on to become engineers, instructors, and diving operations

supervisors, fill management positions, qualify as AWS Certified Welding

Inspectors (CWI), and serve as consultants for underwater welding operations

and other related fields. Ideally, a career as a welder-diver should serve as a

stepping stone to other opportunities for those who choose the profession.

Industry has and will continue to demand higher quality standards for

underwater welds and more certification of underwater welding systems and

personnel.
