Underwater welding
Underwater welding. Diver welding an underwater pipe. Commercial divers use welding tools to repair damaged underwater pipes, ships or oil rig platforms. The diver may use either dry welding techniques or wet welding. Dry underwater welding is performed in a chamber filled with gas sealed around the structure to be repaired. Wet welding techniques involve a cable connecting both the welding power supply and the structure. Welders face a degree of risk including electric shock, decompression sickness and explosions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the incredible skill and bravery of an underwater welder. In this image, a diver can be seen fearlessly welding an underwater pipe, demonstrating the remarkable capabilities of commercial divers in repairing damaged structures such as pipes, ships, or oil rig platforms beneath the ocean's surface. The diver has two options when it comes to welding techniques: dry or wet. Dry underwater welding involves working within a gas-filled chamber that is sealed around the structure requiring repair. On the other hand, wet welding requires a cable connecting both the welding power supply and the structure itself. However, these skilled welders face numerous risks while performing their vital work. Electric shock hazards are ever-present, along with potential decompression sickness and even explosions. Despite these dangers lurking beneath the waves, these courageous individuals continue to contribute to industries by ensuring structural integrity through their expertise in underwater repairs. This awe-inspiring photograph not only captures a single moment but also represents human ingenuity and technological advancements in industrial diving. It serves as a reminder of how humans have adapted to explore and conquer challenging environments like undersea depths for progress and development purposes without compromising safety standards.
