Best Answer:
Oh yes, you most certainly need to know how to weld on land, upside down, and sideways before you try underwater. It is very dangerous. College is a great place to start, I took my first welding class in college. It is a great place to start, also ask you class counselor about some good technical schools, such as ITT tech. He or She should have some great schools you could apply for. It takes a LONG time to get good enough to do underwater welding, but at least you have a goal, good luck and stick with it.
