The Underwater Skills Department at Seneca College will be offering a course in underwater welding in Febuary at King Campus, as well as with Phoenix Marine Services, Abbotsford B.C.  The five-day course will allow practice and instruction to enable participants to attempt the underwater CWB "class B" (fillet welds, plate) test.  The course is designed to allow commercial divers working within the diving industry to achieve Canadian U/W welding qualification.  Applicants to the course will need to have a working background in underwater welding.  All divers will need an up-to-date diving medical to participate.  It is expected that everyone enrolled in the course will achieve CWB class B, (all position) underwater qualification; however, due to material and time constraints, this cannot be guaranteed.
