Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
The American Welding Society, CWB Association, International Marine Contractors Association, and other associations offer certification for welders. Certification for commercial divers is available through the Association of Diving Contractors International and the International Marine Contractors Association. No licensing is required for underwater welders, but dive certification and specialized training in underwater welding are strongly recommended.
