expense of training only to later find you have a disability that prevents your

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.

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 examination. The
commercial diving profession is physical demanding. It is rare to see an
active commercial welder-diver over the age of 50.

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.

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.
