About the Role

DeepSea operates in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic seaboard. We handle offshore platform maintenance, subsea pipeline repair, and underwater structural welding. You don't need commercial diving experience to apply — if you have a strong welding background and are comfortable in water, we'll put you through our commercial diver training program (paid, 6 months). After certification, you'll earn $150-280/day plus saturation pay for deep dives. Top performers on our team clear $200k+ in a 9-month offshore season. This is a demanding lifestyle: 2-3 weeks on, 1 week off, 12-hour shifts in challenging conditions. The money is real. The work is real. Apply if you can handle the heat and don't need your hand held.

What We're Looking For

Professional welding certification or 2+ years of structural welding experience; Comfortable in deep water (swim test required before training); Physically fit; Willing to complete commercial diver certification (we sponsor and pay); No offshore diving experience required — we train
