Offshore diving takes place in oceans, seas, and gulfs. While at work, Offshore divers receive support from the surface or a stationary object on the surface such as a boat or platform. If you are interested in pursuing underwater welding skills this is the entry-level that you have to start with.
Most commercial divers must have extensive experience in Offshore diving. Where is Offshore welding used? Offshore underwater welders/divers are mainly required by gas or oil industries for maintenance as well as repair of marine structures. Besides, they are also experienced in the removal of oil beneath the sea bed in marine conditions.
Their work is not as easy as it sounds like most of the time they can spend weeks underwater enduring the hard and unpredictable changing weather patterns as well as dim visibility and high water pressure. On average, underwater welders can spend 4-6 weeks underwater and about 10-11 hours working on a given project.
