    I read that with the advancements in technology it's much safer. I suppose a lot can go wrong, but it's mostly the persons fault... maybe...

    Here is a sample job posting which should give you an idea of what is required for this type of a job.

    I know a few divers and they are definitely a very particular type of person. It is extremely demanding both physically and mentally.

    Works below the surface of water, using surface supplied commercial diving or saturation diving to inspect, repair, remove, or install equipment and structures. Will use a variety of power and hand tools, such as drills, sledgehammers, torches, and welding equipment. May be required to perform NDT, rig explosives, or photograph structures or marine life. Will perform rigging both topside and underwater to complete construction projects.
