Hey Guillermo whats up . Its run by Miami Divers, I worked with a few guys who went there back on the west coast, they said it was good, but? They also were top side welders/fab guys before diving. Hell if you got the money to drop for school il open the pool up and let you weld all day and all night here! And half the cost!! ha!!

FWIW;

First become A Certified Welder on the surface, AWS, ASME IX.

Would cost You less and would be MORE Valuable!{In the long term, You would make more money welding on Surface than "underwater"!

Makes too much sense Dale. Lets keep on flooding the market with cheap green labour and watch the collective diver skills IQ dissipate, and injury/fatality rear their ugly heads again. Boom bust, but I can't help feeling every bust loses more than it comes back with. Just my opinion.

HEY EVERYBODY LISTEN TO WHAT DALE HAS TO SAY. DIVERS HAVE NOT LEARNED WHAT WELDERS ALREADY KNOW AND THAT IS IF WE DON'T GET RESPECT WE WALK. I THINK ANY AND ALL DIVERS SHOULD HAVE TO BE A TRADESMAN FIRST THEN BECOME A DIVER.
MANY TIMES WHEN YOU SHOW UP AS A WELDER YOU CAN JUST FEEL THE RESPECT YOUR EMPLOYERS GIVE YOU FOR SHOWING UP WITH YOUR SKILL SET. ASK YOURSELF DO I GET THAT RESPECT ? IF NOT WHY NOT ?

hydraweld is the only wet rod that is backed by any class for PERMANENT u/w repairs (not all hydra repairs are class).

if you plan on being reputable as a wet welder outside of your little buddy buddy gom bubble you need the paperwork to back it up.

it is overpriced and all that but what course did you ever take that was priced according to what it actually taught?
- remember how much dive school was?
- KM hat course?
