OT: Underwater Welding

Does anyone have contacts?

Who does it, how much is the pay, depths, etc. I know we have some offshore people here, what info can you give? A cousin of mine does this.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

PS Actually, deep diving is quite interesting. "The bends" is caused by human lungs absorbing too much N2 due to the pressures of being under water. We all need ~20% O2 to survive and the external pressure of deep diving forces more N2 into the tissues. Deep divers carry He as a replacement for N2, which makes them talk funny. Last time I checked, "liquid breathing" as seen in James Cameron's "The Abyss" is possible. Received on Sat Feb 28 18:37:00 2004
