      +supermotardmario so it's more like they can weld which may prove an annoyance once and a while but for the most part it won't happen. but instead of welding, most of the large scale construction will actually be vapor deposition to build up thicknesses in walls.

      Not true. Taylor had a hyperbaric program that used seasoned, pv certified welders. Over a one year period only one welder made it to the north sea, was blown down in sat, and got into the bell. As soon as the diver opened the hatch and the welder stared at the moon pool he said f no. From then on, Taylor trained its divers under Blackie's tutelage and it became a successful program.

      name's Zeus yes it is the oxydizer in such a reaction, but you still need a puncture in the tank for anything to happen and you need a flamable thing that's coming in contact with the gas (which has to be at quite a high temperature) to make any sort of reaction happen and since you only carry oxy and argon down there, there's nothing to worry about. ;)
