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, etc.,); and the ability to certify to a required underwater weld
procedure.

physical prior to school acceptance and in some cases a written exam. It is
suggested that a dive physical be taken regardless, to avoid going through the
