Welding ground...don't do this!

My Vo tech teacher also had a welding business that I worked a day or so at a veneer plant. He told me how he was in chest high water in a soaking tank welding a pipe there.
Ain`t no way, no how, he`d get me to do something like that:rolleyes:
I went to college with a guy who was ex-navy. He taught scuba diving and underwater welding. I took his scuba class but didn't have any desire to weld underwater. Kinda like jumping out of a perfectly good plane
