@ we go to the ocean corporation in Houston, and yeah I showed a couple guys the part where you showed the effect of the electrolysis on the older anode it was really cool, can’t wait to get into some stuff like this
Engineers decide all that. They provide detailed blueprints, and then the dive supervisor and engineers guide me via two-way communications and a live video feed on my helmet.
Hi, I'm from Canada and I love your content. I have two questions for you. 1. How long did it take you to become an underwater welder? 2. How dangerous is the career? I saw online the mortality rate is 15 percent. Looks like you chose a job that is on the safe side. Thank you for your time.
Awesome, I’m glad you enjoyed it! 1. Dive Academy is about six months. 2. It’s relatively safe nowadays with all of the new technology. Back in the day When they were pioneering the industry, it was pretty sketchy.
Ben that was amazing! I want to. Know the water temp. I know you have a hot water suit on but still it’s crazy to think you’re in that harbor in the middle of winter!!
It wasn’t a very good rate for all the work I did. I was the only diver on that job, and I single-handedly welded over fifty 60-pound anodes. That’s why we only go to Baltimore nowadays if there’s a good-paying Army Corps or government job.
These vids make me so excited to graduate dive school lol
Glad to hear that! Share it this your buddy’s.
What school are you guys in?

@@wyattpogue6316 Right now is one of the best times in history to be diver. lots of work not a lot of divers. Balls in our field.
All the best for your RUclips journey brother😇🙏
Thanks Brother 🙏🏽
Must be honest; I had no idea anodes were also used for piles and sheet walls ect. Makes sense. Good video!
Thank you, sir! There’s an anode on everything down there. It’s a constant battle against electrolysis in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor!
Great video 🔥
keep it up bro love the content
Thanks! Got more content coming soon.
Dam this made me want to go to dive school more after the military keep up the vids
Glad to hear that! I’m not stoping anytime soon.
What keeps the anode attached to the piling when you first start the weld, looks like both hands were free
Some anodes I used the small ratchet strap to hold it in place but Most of them I held with one hand and got a tack weld on.
Thanks Ben, next time you and Zach are in town come visit
Im moving back to Baltimore im a diver to im looking for a job if you need more help
we need move diver! Email me at @ aguaspirit33@gmail.com
@@workingunderwaterI’m interested as well you guys still hiring?
@@ryanrushing3269 Are you commercially certified? There is so much diving work right now its not even funny.
@@workingunderwater what's the pay
What a great video! Do you guys get scared down there?
Congratulations on a well made and informative video
Thank you! The next one will be even better and more informative.
Yoo! That was a savage video!!! You got some real good looking welds too man.
Great stuff buddy! I’m proud of you!
Thanks Brother 🙏🏽
That was a comb jelly
Thanks! Been waiting for someone to let me know! :)
How do you know which pier to fix and in what depth to place the anode ?

Dude, this is so freaking cool. How do you see when you're down there? The visibility at 32 feet looked almost impossible to work through.
Thanks! Inside that last cluster the piles were so close together no light gets in.
Water is clear out in the open. “green clear” haha

Thanks Laurie! Water temperature is in the description. 39° !
Was this a union job or no
No. This wasn’t a union job.
You can tell its non union cause of the 3 man crew with no standby
@ It was a Challenge alone.
I know this man irl he’s cool
Keep it going 💙🫵🏽
Always
How much money did you make on the stupid @$$ dive dude ? 🤔
Millions my friend, Millions! haha
@@workingunderwater You can only make that money if you work for yourself
