or phoenix int. buddy... lots of dry or wet welding and u/w burning... btw i went to cda it was a joke in my opinion, if you have the chance you should definitely check out the dive school in morgan city louisiana... there's like a year long waiting list but it could save you twenty thousand bucks or so if you're interested. good luck feller and be prepared to work your ass off

I have been a topside welder for ten years so what your saying is the transition to uw will be less painless for me than others?
