Well after 22 years of floating from job to job and not knowing what i want to do(i do know what i don't want to do and thats to be stuck in a 6X6 box) in life, I have decided to go into commercial diving. Actually underwater welding would be the ideal job. I am going for my first scuba Certification class this SAT!

My question is this, first does anyone know anyone who is in the "Underwater welding union"?

Second: I was looking into school that specialize in commercial diving and it takes 5 months to get certified. But do i really have to do this to get into the union or is it like an apprentiship and they teach me, and the cetification is optonial?

Third: Is welding under water the same as above? can i just take a class at the local College or Vo-tech and am i good to go?

Thanks all
