Emphasizing Safety in Underwater Welding

I’ve been diving into advanced underwater welding techniques lately, and it really drives home how crucial safety is in our line of work. Just last week, I had to rely on my new portable gas detection unit during a job at a depth of 90 feet, and it saved me from a potentially dangerous situation. Sharing experiences about equipment and safety practices could really benefit all of us, so what tools or precautions do you swear by underwater?
