Underwater Welding is the process of joining materials, typically metals, beneath the water's surface. This technique is critical in the marine, shipbuilding, and offshore construction industries, including oil drilling platforms, bridges, piers, or underwater pipelines. Underwater welding can be performed either in a wet environment (directly underwater) or within a dry chamber created beneath the water. In wet welding, divers use specially designed welding equipment suited for underwater environments. The electrodes are coated with materials that protect the electric arc from water, enabling metal welding to take place underwater.
