Is underwater welding something that requires a school-based education?

Underwater welding is the process of using an energy source that produces lots of heat to melt together large pieces of metal while diving underwater. There are many great underwater welding schools that can provide this training. You can find these listed from the American Welding Society.


Why do under water welders die so often?

There's only been one incident involving an actual death during the process of underwater welding, which happened in 1943 when a student was wet welding. The potential danger from electric current during underwater welding is extremely low because the welder-diver is grounded. It's also direct current (DC), not alternating current (AC), so it's focused at the weld site. Other dangers to underwater welders (commercial divers) are more prevalent, including decompression sickness and drowning. I outline these dangers in my article: waterwelders.com/zap-bang-pop-hazards-safety-measures-of-underwater-welding/
