The importance of endurance in underwater welding

I’ve been in the underwater welding game for a while now, and I can’t stress enough how crucial physical endurance is. Just the other week, I was working on a twelve-hour job at a depth of 120 feet, and I felt every minute of it. It’s not just about the welds but also staying focused and upright while battling the currents. Any tips on conditioning specifically for this kind of work would be appreciated.
