This is fascinating to watch. The wikipedia page on hyperbaric welding, including wet underwater stick welding describes a switch being used by a second person at the surface when the welder is ready to go. How do they communicate with each other?
Most dive helmets have a wired communication set in them. The guy up top has a box that controls the divers air and sometimes that box has live video and communications feed.
I didn’t see the weld, but he is learning well imo. It looks like he welds already, but isn’t used to the underwater gear. I bet it’s a tough skill set to master. Keep it up, you’re doing great!

If you can weld in sewage it'll work anywhere. The rods are the same as regular rods just covered with a thick layer of wax

Same here
no he wasn't had that problem, since the current does not flow through his body, the current flow from the electrode to the weld piece, not his body.
@@darfinchen878 but you know water is conducter of electricity so if current comes in contact with water then it will be spread and we feel shock??
