    The document discusses two types of underwater welding: wet welding and dry welding. Wet welding involves welding directly in water and has advantages such as being the cheapest and fastest method, but disadvantages such as poor visibility and risk of hydrogen embrittlement. Dry welding involves welding inside a pressurized chamber and has advantages like better weld quality and diver safety, but higher costs associated with the complex equipment required. The document provides details on the electrode designs, processes, advantages and disadvantages of each underwater welding method.
