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

    • @A_Lemon_Party
      @A_Lemon_Party Před 3 lety +7

      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 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....

      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.
