    Thought the pics were pretty cool, I have done cutting and welding underwater and it’s not easy.
    Just wanted to share.
    Hope you all enjoy

    Great pictures Paul! If you know anyone looking to buy a SuperLIte 97 diving helmet have them call Divers Supply Inc. in Gretna Louisiana (504.392.2800) ask for Robbie the owner. I just dropped one off for them to sell.

    All of our helmets are navy owned and issued. We also have a set of 97 in our shop. Great helmet.

    The first pic was a training pic. Not sure why it over the primary glove. Usually we were gloves under our diving gloves.

    been certified since 1985 in Pipe & pressure vessel certification which is a bitch. but i'm curious. When arc welding the last thing you want to do is dunk hot steel in water, it looses tensile streingth, also in cold water there is a chance of crystalizing the weld. how does that work underwater???

    Liferider. Short answer to your question is underwater welding is not arc welding. It uses self consuming method. You push the rod into the work. Also there is a proprietary metallurgy in the rod. Very high nickel content which helps keep the weld from becoming brittle.
