400k-200k $ per year

It's because you're extremely likely to fucking die. Experienced divers have told me that kind of job is a death wish.

Same

Your kit failing isn't the risk with underwater welding. Its something entirely outside of your control like, say, someone else screwing up and causing a explosive decompression in the dive bulb turning you into a red mist as you're pressed through a grate.

doesn't matter how heavily you regulate something because accidents happen and these dangerous jobs are usually the only remaining instances of workplace deaths in the west

They get paid that much because not many other people bother to do it. Same thing with garbagemen and plumbers depending on the area. You can become a very rich man doing odd jobs normies are too lazy or entitled to do.

if that's all it would take i would sign up tomorrow.
you have to be a very accomplished diver and welder to even begin thinking about it. and diving is expensive as fuck.

>it doesnt need skills!
>anyone could do it after training
>after training

I've recently been thinking about doing something like this. Like I've been hearing that you can make $25/hr in construction or digging ditches because nobody wants to do it and everybody wants to flood the office job market which drive down wages.

i'm actually getting tired of the office scene i have spent the last decade coding. but being away for months from my gf is not an option.

Checkout the Byford Dolphin accident
>Investigation by forensic pathologists determined Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the 60 centimetres (24 in) in diameter opening created by the jammed interior trunk door by escaping air and violently dismembered, including bisection of the thoracoabdominal cavity which further resulted in expulsion of all internal organs of the chest and abdomen except the trachea and a section of small intestine and of the thoracic spine and projecting them some distance, one section later being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.

Delta-p kills people in regular swimming pools. That shit obliterates workers in underwater industrial sites all the time.

>Byford Dolphin accident
>1983

I think that for 35 years they have improved procedures, equipment and everything else

Not in cuckifornia you arent. Mexicans will take those shit jobs and do them for minimum wage so they can send their money back home.

No, not talking about the peoples republic

>12 dead in 15 years

it's not much

>Delta-p kills people in regular swimming pools.
Literally how?

Those grills?

You can't expect a generation that grew up on Minecraft and Terraria to understand dangers in the natural world.

Generally when somebody sticks an arm or leg down the drain(which should be blocked), or sits right on top of it creating a perfect seal.

Imagine putting your dick into that

happened to me as a child i remember the panic i felt i couldn't separate from the huge drain. we played houdini and the other kids tied me up so that i can escape the bondage underwater, so the flow stuck me to the drain hands and legs tied under water couldn't breathe. i fucking ripped the rope like it was nothing and scraped along to get free, had pretty bad scrapes but got out.

It's real. It's one of the best paying jobs in the world, but it's dangerous as fuck. My friend had an uncle who did underwater welding, the dude died when he got sucked into some underwater pipe.

yes but you're more likely to drown before retiring.

Jeez buddy, you paint quite a picture with the gratings of unlucky divers. Take it easy

>til delta-p is fucking nightmare

You can also suffer from underwater delusion which I believe is caused by pressure causing you to become euphoric and taking off your mask because you believe in the underwater version of being able to fly and then drown, suffering a horrible death as in your last moments your brain clicks back together causing a huge buildup of fear and anxiety before you die from asphixation.

Buddy you're getting old, none of these zoomers know what the hell a minecraft or a terraria is supposed to be

Little girl had her intestines sucked out of her asshole. Pretty God awful way to go.

>tips fedora

'Tis a curse.

Good watch.

Ever forget to take you lunch to work one day?
Imagine forgetting to check your oxygen levels!

Almost the same outcome.

fuck you for this, why did i even get back on this shitty thread, sage and fuck you all

but you in particular buddy, fuck you with delta p

jesus i guess i was lucky the drain was pretty big like 4 feet squared so i couldn't make a seal on it but it felt like several hundred kilograms on my back as a child there was no way for me to distance myself from the bars i remember that very clearly. so i slid and they took a bit of my skin.

The more common scenario is that you just get stuck and drown. Use it as a precautionary tale to protect you and your kids. Don't ever play around with pool drains.

This shit has been happening for a long time in America. I remember being afraid of pool drains as a kid from reading a story like this and I'm 31.

good luck dying cuz your spotter is drunk/on pills...super dangerous job

fake news?

>How much money does an underwater welder make per hour?
According to commercial divers and global statistics, the average underwater welding salary is $53,990 annually and $25.96 per hour. However, most incomes float around $25,000 – $80,000. Diver welders in the top 10% make $83,730 while the bottom 10% pull in $30,700.

for a simple pool the pressure difference shouldn't be that great. you should be able to roll off the hole easily. industrial stuff that's different.

Is krabby ok?

ehhh so these are poor money for this risk

There where only 20 divers :o

Better than a pool vacuum cleaner.

the crack or the crab

I love that video

The problem with this job is your life expectancy goes down by 20 years and they make you sign a waiver making sure you are fully aware.

You work 6 months out the year and you make a ton of money

But you live less

>The ultimate state

hmm
