Next video idea perhaps? Please do!

Wow! Hey Dustin! Definitely a few different SED topics here, but also dangerous work.

Just casually responds on some random video with nobody here. I thought you were fake

I'm honored to have the same algorithmic suggestions as smarter every day! Hell yea!

What I find pretty crazy is how corroded and rusty the pipe looks but yet that’s our drinking water! A video on scuba diving repairs would be incredible!

homie deserves more, that takes a lot of balls to do. I'd never ever do that

My uncle did work like this on oil rigs out in Texas. They make real good money, deservingly so. He tried to get me to get into it years ago, but I DO NOT have the balls. All of my worst fears rolled into one occupation.

No shit lol

@@tyob1 no one cares what your uncle did.

No, he doesn't deserve to be exploited for crumbs off the surplus.

Damn man that last part. The Discovery Channel has truly let us down. I used to watch so many shows on that channel and just LEARN about this world and how humans operate in it in the most amazing ways. Loves that channel. Now it’s a dumpster fire.

Well said, brother. You put a fine point on it with your last sentence. Love to see these tradesman excelling at their craft and showing the rest of us why they're so indispensable.

as a discovery network kid and not a disney channel kid, i back this 200%

Absolutely!

Yeah I miss when it was Mythbusters and not Cash Cab. I mean I don't remember much from back then, but I remember there was some science stuff then there was like gameshows and stuff.

Dont forget the most important part, some big balls!

@@JamesCook76131 How does he fit such big balls in that pipe?

Underwater construction and welding is easy af. Try office job and looking at the screen for 8 hours.

@@Kawka1122 FUCK no! I would lose my mind ☠️

Not to mention what happens if his lighting dies.

then there's electrocution, loss of sight due to grout malfunction, etc. etc.

Ah, yes. One of my biggest fears: dying!

And gastrointestinal issues, with diarrhea

Yeah bro my younger brother does this in the Navy and I'm telling you that kid is a different breed with no fear

Time to change profile pic I guess 😅

There are 1000's of different jobs like this that keeps society thriving.

Grow a pair

There is no way I would ever drink that water.

Nah this is way tamer than that bro… deeper and it’s the ocean not a man made system

@@lsixty30 Both are dangerous AF, but enclosed spaces takes the cake for me…..I would rather be eaten by something than die wedged in a confined space. Not to mention, “dude got eaten by a Shark” sounds way more bad ass than “buddy got stuck in a hole and died” IMO.

@@lsixty30 if something fucks up while you are 50 feet under water, then you are only 50 feet away from safety. if something fucks up while you are 600 feet away from the pipe entrance, then you are 600 feet from safety. also, in the ocean you have more than 42 inches of space to maneuver/ get out of the way of something/ untangle yourself from something.... in a 42 inch pipe, you only have 42 inches.

@@mogetfog underwater welders generally work much much much fucking deeper than 50 ft. Saturation divers who do underwater welding go insanely deep.

And they stay underwater for weeks sometimes months.

Yes I loved seeing the grout test with credit to the developers!

you wouldn't find any miss marvels asking for equal representation in this job lol

And perfect trust in your team.. No stuffing around or usless people.. Probably a lot of ex military people..

You are fucking crazy. I do cured in place pipe I’ll crawl a sewer line San or storm b4 I ever get close to a crane. If you fall you see it the entire time, if a pipe collapses while crawling you don’t even know it

I would much rather do the diving/welding than sit in a tower crane! I’m a LBC and Squirt boom operator but don’t have the nerve for the heights you guys work at! Takes all kinds!

ya for real. this one made me anxious too. pretty wild

Lol i dont understand what you mean, its obvious they cannot breath anything because they are in water

@@sveannnnnnn7578 that's the joke

@@sveannnnnnn7578 thanks for ruining my day 👍😊😊

The "fumes" (bubbles) from underwater welding and burning are extremely explosive. That's why we ran a 1 inch hose to dilute and flush them out.

Nah, just getting electrocuted.

Why not? With so much experience in diving you could easily be an asset to one of these crews. Not to mention, they get paid pretty well. And you don’t always have to be the guy who actually does the dive.

Out of curiosity, what kind of salary is the diver/welder in this vid earning (ballpark)? Because this is indeed a special set of skills.

@@zachyurkus it depends on alot of things but underwater welders getting into 6 figure salaries is not unheard of.

@@zachyurkus a friend of mine back in 2000/2001 was diving in reservoir pipes (not sure how wide those are compared to the pipes in this video) and repairing them and I asked him what he was earning and he said £450. I said a week? and he said no a day... But that might have been special pay because of time constraints or being in the pipe or what i don't know. All I know for sure is he was learning to fly at weekends so his general earnings were very good indeed!

@@zachyurkus I'm not sure on this particular job, but generally it pays extremely well. A friend of mine used to do dives like this (nuclear power plant water inlets, wastewater storage tanks, etc) and these custom repair\emergency jobs all seemed to pay from several hundred to several thousand dollars per hour.

Or his paycheck.

@@peacockhorsepower3181 Bro i dont think a paycheck of 1 million dollars would get me in that hole 😂

Trust is the only way to do this job.

You don't make money killing your highly skilled divers through negligence. This kind of work is only done by people who are perfectionist by nature.

@@nickwinwood769 that pipe looks like 🗑 but I dont want to get that invoice 🤑

How do you get into this career?

@@lukekelchner5471 a lot of training

@@lukekelchner5471 Learn how to weld really well. Learn how to dive really well. Convince someone you have the nuts to do it.

@@lukekelchner5471 start with some welding classes. A little background experience in general construction or equipment operation would compliment well and pay the bills while in school. Buy a welder or switch to a job where you use one regularly. No substitute for hood time.

Not really. That's a regular air grinder. We keep them lubed and when they start locking up we switch them out and lube them again. They make hydraulic underwater tools but they have two lines so they can get in the way.

All those bubbles coming out of it, that's not water........

@@elonmust7470 Right that is not water. That is rapidly expanding air. Do you know what rapidly expanding cases take away? Heat. That's how air conditioning works, for example.

This is a little different than roto rooter going to your shithole house.

@@J.G.Wentworth69420 ok

You might like tower antenna replacement videos... a group of guys hanging on by wires, on top of an antenna tower 1km high in the sky. with about 10sqft of working space while a chopper hovers 50 ft above them carry the antenna they are replacing.

I demand a quota of 50% women in that job!!! End the toxic masculinity!!! (/sarcasm)

@@user-dv7hq2rh4g get the feminists in the suits, they can do it no sweat. do not doubt it!

I know paratroopers who would wince at having to perform such a technical task under these environmental conditions. And they are some tough cold as ice MF'S

im sure he gets paid well. Dont think I would do it myself. Id freak the fuck out. I dont know how those cave explorers squeeze through those tiny cracks. Jesus I got freaked out thinking about it.

he welds underwater wow 🤦

Some 15 years ago I considered making this my job and the average pay was 75k in my area. No clue what it is now.

@@criticgamer5496 I wouldnt do it for 75k today lol. Maybe 150k.

I briefly looked into this a while ago. Jobs are sporadic, as the need for underwater welding is all over the industrial and inhabited portions of the US. I read that the pay was good, north of 100k, but that traveling was a requirement. 100k is great depending on cost of living in your state. I'm sure different jobs also paid differently based on risk, materials, time etc

That's drinking water. Hope he didnt have to pee!! 😆

@@americanpatriot3638 I was going to make a fart joke but you beat me and yours was prob funnier. 👏

Yes, thanks to you the Salvage Chief did not sink. Fairport harbor has plans to expand and make the harbor more protected in the near future. Thanks again!!!

That’s really nice of you to tell someone about that.... what a great guy, not everyone would take the time to tell someone about it. You actually care about other people and ended up saving them a lot of money. I wish more people were like you. It wasn’t even my boat but I’m thankful you helped out. What a great example of what people should be. If more people were like you, willing to take the time to help out a complete stranger the world would be a much better place for sure. So many people just say “not my problem” and keep going. But not you you actually took the time out of your day to address the problem of a COMPLETE STRANGER! I honestly wish someone would give you an award for what you did. And I’ll bet you didn’t think to much about it either. Probably just happy to help someone out. I just can’t get over how you just went and did that. All I can say is what a great great guy you are. Thank you very much for restoring so many peoples faith in humanity. Hats off to you man, keep up the good work and keep helping out other people like you love to do.

@@gordonkuusisto7068 There's more than a few of us out here. I never understood why good news doesn't sell, so sadly all we hear is bad. But we are out here. I mean, it's weird because I went out of my way to help someone today, not a second thought, complete stranger, didn't accept anything in return because to me it wasn't a big deal. Car broke down on the side of the road, needed a damn radiator cap so I ran them to the store. And believe me, karma is real. One time I left my jumper cables at home and I shyt you not the truck that pulled in next to me gave me a jump right then and there! 😉👍

@@gordonkuusisto7068 I've found very few groups of people more bonded with total strangers than boaters. The water is absolute hell if something goes wrong, and we're all very aware of that. Nobody wants to be the guy that passed on helping someone when they could. It could be the difference between life and death.

The attic is a lot more spacious than that pipe silly

@@billlee1724 electricians go into more than just attics, silly

@@billlee1724 Mine isn't. Low sloped roof and high ceilings. There's less than 3' of room at the peak. Only gets tighter from there. If I ever had to do any electrical work in there it would be easier to literally take the ceiling away.

@@billlee1724 wanna know why they're called crawl spaces? Wires aren't only in your attic

I would bet the diver was paid 6 figures for this 1 repair job. Because this kinda work is dangerous, requires extremely high qualifications, is always in demand, and has next to nobody willing to do it. Just like deep water repair.

@@sasukedemon888888888 absolutely no way he's making that, he's probably on $100 per hour. He's making 6figures per year not per job!! I'm welding 13years.

@@MrIrish1 if hardly no one else does this kind of work the he can put his own price on it.

@@MrIrish1 I just know there are some jobs like that, that pay ludicrously well. Because of a combination of how dangerous it is. How rare someone actually qualified to do it is to get a hold of, and how necessary it is.

@@MrIrish1 I'll agree that he's def not making 6 digits for the one job - maybe the COMPANY gets like $10k for the day... but $100 per hour?... are you talking USD? Here in Canada, mechanic rates are $150/hr so I would imagine a guy risking his life by diving 600ft into a water main to do some welding is *easily* walking away after half a days work with a couple grand... likely the the lions share of the job... probably something like $500/hr while the lackeys make $50/hr.

You got that right!

Funny and original comment!

Nice to see a well worded and original version of the balls of steel comment. Tiny nitpick: sheer*

Facts

Guys is probably making $25 to $35 an hour. There are exceptions but dive pay isn't always what people think.

Pay is awful, especially considering the risk.

Exactly. Many people fail to realize this and take shit for granted. Never forget what you truly have because once it’s gone, you’ll regret every second. 🤝
