Been a diver for over a decade. Any questions feel free to ask!

[@TheWeldLab]

Ask my guy anything y’all wanna know I’ll have another video out Wednesday also asking a diver a few questions

[@vigwelding926]

Any long term effects from underwater welding (excessive pressure on the body for long duration, etc).

[@A_Lemon_Party]

Studies do suggest some negative long term effects from deeper diving.. but the most common health issue i would say is hearing loss. The things that are most dangerous are the immediate ones such as DCS and AGE’s.

[@racingfan8175]

How many years of welding do you need to have before you can start doing underwater welding?

[@Laura-wc5xt]

@@racingfan8175 I think I have heard it is easier to teach a diver to weld than a welder to dive, but I may have that backwards....Jody at Welding Tips and Tricks has an hour podcast with a Diver Welder that is also great to listen to....

[@ShakeJuntJr]

This is one of the coolest most diverse welding video I’ve ever seen! Probably my favorite I’ve watched in my 25 years.

[@TheWeldLab]

thanks for the feedback 💯

[@Ehinoa]

us new gens coming through respectfully man cant wait to contribute some welding knowledge i love welding and ive only just started haha

[@airsesh4771]

Your channel is about to blow up carnal, good content homie

[@Laura-wc5xt]

Outstanding......really enjoyed this.....at 3:20 he says negative runs to knife switch, reverse polarity, I think he meant straight polarity...

[@cwood5072]

Negative to knife switch, knife switch to stinger, then positive to ground.

[@Holscher420]

You’re right

[@Rocksolidhandyman]

You’re right! DCEN Is STRAIGHT POLARITY! I’ll take the job now!🔥⚡️💥 Remember, it’s always easier to teach a welder how to dive than vice versa!

[@ArcEyeJames]

So glad to see this video done at Ocean Corp. Currently saving towards that tuition and man! It is expensive for international students

[@wadewittman8510]

Awesome job Rico 👍!! Glad to be back too. Just got caught up on the last several videos. Keep up the great work buddy 👍.

Welcome back! i wondering where you was at since i haven’t seen you comment in a while

This is one thing I would love to do. I love welding and I am good at it. I worked in a shipyard in PA. Snh, I loved it but the yard was awful. It sucked. But I loved it.

Holy shit you stayed underwater for over 2000 years? That is pretty impressive!!!!!!

Super sweet video, cool to see the process!

[@TheWeldLab]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@CashensPowerwashing]

What a cool video brotha. Awesome content thanks for showing us the journey. I own a power wash & lawn care company here in st louis MO area and just recently got a Hobart flux core machine for small repairs and stuff. Should have got one a long time ago after I took a welding class in college 12 years ago lol oh well glad I do now. Fun stuff

[@keenanneal5933]

What kind of motion is used for underwater welding? Is there any manipulation at all, I would assume it’s just a simple drag or very small whips.

[@A_Lemon_Party]

@ Keenan Neal Drag/self consume

[@tundrarone2493]

Always looking forward to your vids brother keep it up 💯

[@TheWeldLab]

I appreciate that

[@Spencerbreedingskates]

Awesome video man always wondered how the process worked

[@TheWeldLab]

yeah man it was a very dope experience

[@philipbowers3671]

Hey man! I am currently in school for welding then off to diving school. Any chance you could tell me how long youve been welding before you started under water welding?

[@A_Lemon_Party]

Wet welding is honestly not that common. Many divers go their whole careers without ever picking up a stinger.

[@shawnperry4661]

What’s sad to me is I lived in Hockley for 13 years and I never went to check it out top side welder for over 20 years now

[@jyaleiii]

wanted to make a correction if that ok. so the positive to ground is straight polarity not reverse.

[@mattsfirewoodvideos738]

Appreciate the effort you put into this video brother

[@thechosenone3721]

Good content bro I remember always hearing about this but never knowing how it was done ima start doing some loader videos I work in a rock crusher mine you kind of just inspired me cause people are interested in all kinds of work so pretty cool dude blessings to you!

[@jwwelder07]

Is there an age restriction on becoming an underwater weldor?

[@cwood5072]

You need to be at least 18 and if you want to work offshore you should probably be under 40, the younger the better. Inland diving is a little different but still better to be younger than older.

[@A_Lemon_Party]

Yeah definitely, even for inland. As you know you don’t have to be an Olympic athlete but starting that late one would struggle.

[@ri0t872]

My heart got broken decided to chase my goals and pursue underwater welding let’s go boys!

[@Fonzthediy-er]

How do I become an underwater welder? Currently in school to become a welder

[@A_Lemon_Party]

What was your employment history before you went to welding school? Because if it didn’t involve anything in the construction field just go weld for a while. Get in with a marine construction company.

[@richardjohnston2904]

The ocean Corp teaches you everything you need to know no experience necessary. Many of our students are right out of high school

If you're a freelance diver-for-hire are you responsible for your health insurance? If something happened to you underwater seems to me it'd be easy for an insurance company to deny coverage if they can find a way to blame you for it.

depends if you do deep deep dive everyday

[@richardjohnston2904]

I am 53 and the instructor no divers dont die off at a young age. Many divers make their money when younger then go into supervising, consulting or kick it on the beach some place. Its not life expectancy its dive expectancy that seems shorter.

[@richardjohnston2904]

@@markjamison9677 I agree with you many people go to dive school but dont stay with it. Various reasons ranging from they dont like living in south La. spouse doesn't like hubby being gone for 6-9 months put of the year, they got scared, or simply dont want to pay their dues. I'm a 3rd generation diver and know lots of guys who made great livings out of it. Takes a special breed of person definitely not for everyone
