Underwater welding is a myth. Of the thousand active divers, only a very small percentage (maybe less than 5 percent) weld underwater. I've been a commercial diver since 1998 and haven't welded a single time underwater since dive school and very very few people I have encountered have either. That's both inland and offshore.
You can make some money as a DiveMaster. Or at the very least get free diving trips. I did it alot in the past, about 10 years ago or more. Not sure what the market is now. I know a guy in central florida who is operating a commercial diving outfit using scuba divers. This is kinda unsafe, but it's decent money. And I have a few friends who are golf ball divers. They seem to make some money that way too.
