Will a underwater welder die after 10 or 15 years of underwater welding?

No but there is a limit to how much time you can spend underwater, typically the deeper you are the less time you can be under. Also there are limits to how many dives a week you can make. And also there is a waiting period to be able to fly or go above a certain altitude after being undersea.

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/
How much do underwater welders earn?
Underwater welding is quite safe now with the advancement in technology. Welders enter decompression chambers to undo the effects of deep sea diving and nitrogen which enters the blood stream. Underwater welders do not die everyday, roughly 10 per year are killed in accidents. To actually answer your question also, underwater welders are usually private contractors hired to fix ships and can be away for long periods of time in other countries/regions, because they work for themselves they can set their own pay rates and since there is such high demand the company or customer usually doesn't have a choice but to pay what you want. But the average yearly salary for underwater welders can rage anywhere from $90,000 - $200,000 depending on area of work and how dangerous the job is. Hourly, underwater welders' pay ranges from $15.00 per hour to $98.00 per hour depending upon the job being done.
