I knew a guy that did that. One day he went to work. Went down into the sea to fix something on an oil rig. Never resurfaced.

Nah. He disappeared. He was considered dead by his family and friends. No one ever saw him again. He was married at the time and i think his wife collected a pretty good insurance policy.

>>13397348

How the fuck does underwater welding actually kill you though. I know nothing about welding but I assume it's just scuba diving with welding?

>>13397479
Wait shit now I remember. Delta P hazards, I watched a documentary a long time ago

>>13397479
Tangled lines
Sharks
Air running out
Hypothermia
Bends
Strong waves causing you to hit head

Just some things that come to mind quickly.

usually in most cases its highly pressurized pipes that they are sent out to weld.
well, there is so much pressure around these underwater pipes that if the welder isnt careful (and this is how the majority of fatalities happen to underwater welders) they get their arm sucked up against the leak, witch keeps ripping parts off of their arm slowly until their entire body is sucked thru a hole in a pipe not even wider than a quarter.

the reason the pay rate is so high is because nearly every underwater welder gets killed somewhere along their career on the job.
its a profession that is slowly being replaced by robotics.

I shouldn't have watched that at night

Byford Dolphin explosive decompression accident on 5 November 1983 at 4:00 a.m

Coward, Lucas, and Bergersen were exposed to the effects of explosive decompression and died in the positions indicated by the diagram. Investigation by forensic pathologists determined that Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the 60 centimetres (24 in) diameter opening created by the jammed interior trunk door by escaping air and violently dismembered, including bisection of his thoracoabdominal cavity, which resulted in expulsion of all of the internal organs of his chest and abdomen, except the trachea and a section of small intestine, and of the thoracic spine. These were projected some distance, one section being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.
