Underwater Welding Test | 3F & 4F Plate | Pad Eye Welding

Today we got a re-upload of fan favorite underwater welding test. Jordan Moreno welds a plate test underwater in the 3f and 4f position. Using the SMAW welding process. This test is needed and done for every underwater welding job. He then proceeds to weld a 45lb. pad eye.

Pretty impressive stuff. As someone who is just now getting into "normal" (dry) welding with his Hobart Handler 190, I can only say that this is pretty awesome. Just be safe, man.

At least underwater welding the inspector isn’t just standing right behind you the whole time

I run a hot rod shop and I’m blown away at the prep that goes into your job buddy. You should be very proud of yourself for the extensive conditions you go through to do your job. Heck I’m proud of you!

I watched a documentary about this during my ag weld class and sometimes a barracuda would be right behind the diver to watch them weld and would scare the crap out of them whenever they turned around.

I graduated from DIT in April 2004. The only time I ever welded underwater was in dive school. I have never in my life seen anybody weld underwater in the Gulf of Mexico where I did my diving career. Absolutely loved diving. Had two acquaintances die, one on a dive and the other from the young money Diver type lifestyle. Two good buddies got bent but were okay. I decided after 7 years I’d had enough of being gone from home and wanted to be around my family. Now I have a roofing company, lol. Little different than diving but home every night. Not nearly as fun as deep dives in blue water salvaging a platform or setting charges to blow a well. Great video bud.

I'm a tech scuba diver with over a thousand dives. Cave and wreck penetration certified, I admire those guys, the challenges they have to face on top of the task they have to accomplish. The environment is not always cristal clear and the surroundings often cramped. Entanglement is insidious and things can go sideways very fast. Those welds have to be perfect, it's a real science. Cheers.

This is a really good show, guys. Very well edited, with great voice-over and footage.

I thought I wanted to do this when in welding school, Seattle was a few miles away and then I remembered, I am claustrophobic. Much respect to all you underwater welders.

I am now almost 50 years old and I came up with a great idea a few years ago. That I wanted to move into under water welding. Spent enough time in boiler plants and I felt need for change. And I love the water. Never scuba dived yet

I’m just learning welding. Going to school for it currently and we are learning stick now. I’ve welded a bit before, but not too great at it. Watching this stuff is awesome. Crazy to see you doing this and crazy to see how good you are. Keep up the awesome work

[tomharvey]

Damn I was going to make a smart ass NDT comment it’s impressive they make you qualify every time! Much respect!

[sonandsanford]

Com'on now... as a CWI, personally.... I'm not out to get any welder. Our job is to protect the public.
This was a very educational video for me. Thanks for the upload. I'm subscribing.

[redlock]

I've been in this school for about a week now, learned alot, still haven't actually started welding. Gotta know the theory first. Its going pretty well.

Edit: 21-4-2021

Its ny second week now. Only got to try stick welding once. Got the arc to light properly while other people were still getting stuck and wasting electrodes.

Its pretty fun, love the smell. Understandably failed my first weld. Freaking sunburned my arm.
Eyes are all good tho 👍

Third week. Its wonderful there.
The most practical stuff we've been doing is metal cutting.

I forgot to add early on, its a vocational college/school

14/01/2022 Edit
Second semester now, new subjects like thermal cutting (oxy-fuel, plasma).
Quality control. Welding symbols and glyphs or what ever it was(its about reading WPSs)

Passed my 2F and 1F test, now we start learning 3F(hard af) and later on 4F.
Not looking forward to having sparks all over me. 😂

[Torrga]

When I was stationed in SD I saw y’all constantly, it’s amazing to see exactly what y’all were doing down there. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[justindunfee]

Just received my Ocean corporation information book. Still gotta finish normal welding school but man the more I watch this type of welding the more I want to do it.

[A_Lemon_Party]

Just so everyone knows. Wet welding is a tiny, tiny part of what commercial divers do. Many will go their whole careers without ever picking up a stinger after school. Make sure you actually research what commercial divers do before you go 30, 000 plus in debt to go to dive school, get a job, and realize it’s not what you thought it was. In the ten years I’ve been in the industry I have seen it too many times.

I did aerospace welding certified to d17.1 and d17.2. Every part I welded was tested, the pressure was real.

This is great knowledge for us to know about underwater welding, thanks for sharing this video.
