Hyperbaric welding A US Navy diver at work. Underwater welding. Hyperbaric welding is the process of welding at elevated pressures, normally underwater. Hyperbaric welding can either take place wet in the water itself or dry inside a specially constructed positive pressure enclosure and hence a dry environment. It is predominantly referred to as hyperbaric welding when used in a dry environment, and underwater welding when in a wet environment.
