Commercial divers work all over the world, and are experts in underwater welding, underwater salvage and recovery, underwater inspection, and installation. Testimonials MORE TESTIMONIALS Underwater Welding After all the research I've done and instructors I've talked to, CDA is bar-none the premier dive school in all of America. Cameron Duncan Graduate, CDA Inside CDA I want to be an Underwater Welder CDA's internationally-recognized training includes an introduction to topside welding and underwater welding for commercial divers. Our Highly trained instructors provide guidance to our students. A successful commercial diver needs to be highly trained and proficient in all facets of commercial diving. This is where CDA graduates excel and the CDA Advantage comes through! The Air Mixed Gas Commercial Diver Program does not qualify a student to become an underwater welding specialist.

REQUEST A CATALOG Military & Veterans Much like military personnel, a commercial diver needs to travel to where the work is. Additionally, they are required to work safely and possess the endurance to work long hours under difficult conditions. A diver often needs to act quickly and follow a strict set of standard operational procedures similar to those that were experienced during time in the service.
