Underwater welding is in high demand, and Commercial Divers International Underwater Welding School in Goodyear, AZ is currently accepting students through October 23rd. The school operates at Lake Pleasant and prepares welders for a variety of underwater scenarios.
From oil rigs to underwater piping, city plumbing and sewage issues, and underwater fiber optic cables, divers will have plenty of welding work in the years to come in this career.
