[@jeffarcher400]

They teach not to dive alone and use the buddy system. Perhaps they could team up. With two divers working back to back the pit should be a larger diameter and less likely to cave in. When the pit gets deep only one goes to the bottom and the other works higher while keeping an eye on the buddy. A safety rope from the diver to the hose or a buoy could pull the diver free or help the buddy locate and extract a buried diver. I hope they try the buddy system. It's safer with little or no cost. Maybe a little less productive, maybe not. For sure you're not alone down there.

[@hicknopunk]

*_One Danger not covered was divers getting the 'Bends'... Any time you are below 33 feet Nitrogen builds up._* The divers are working at about 2 Atmospheres of Pressure. Over time Nitrogen from Compressed Air saturate human tissues. Air is 79 percent Nitrogen. On really deep dives or long dives special gas mixtures are used to minimize Nitrogen buildup. These low cost operations do not follow normal safety protocols. At that depth, the diver can only stay underwater for about 45 minutes without having scheduled decompression stops on way back to surface. Since Nitrogen bubbles can form in or migrate to any part of the body, Bends can produce many symptoms, and its effects may vary from joint pain and rashes to paralysis and death. Bends often causes air bubbles to settle in major joints like knees or elbows, causing individuals to bend over in excruciating pain, hence its common name, the bends. Individual susceptibility can vary from day to day, and different individuals under the same conditions may be affected differently or not at all. The classification of types of Bends according to symptoms has evolved since its original description in the 19th century. The severity of symptoms varies from barely noticeable to rapidly fatal. *_Sometimes severe complications or death can result if a diver gets on airplane and it goes up too fast._*

Having dredged for gold in Nome, Alaska. I completely understand what these guys do. The respirator and the depth but Nome also has freezing waters. That adds a different dynamic to the dive.

[@Oliver-qk3dp]

Find better narrator. This is not a lullaby channel.

[@johnn3542]

Choppy water? Looks calm by the mining boats. The reef damage and having to travel farther to fish is probably more from the toxic run off from the land. I'm sure the dredge mining isn't helping, but seems less harmful

[@dyrdek]

you sir are wrong.

[@hicknopunk]

For dredges like that, it is choppy enough, especially when you have a hose in your teeth and not a dive mask.

[@mbmayes]

Open mining is TERRIBLE for the environment. Far worse than closed mining for coal. Which is why the electric car batteries to “go green” is a lie. The batteries wear out and must be replaced, which means disposal of them too.

[@andanandan6061]

In some area, the sea can be as dark as Indian Ganga river and it has huge @$$ crocodile in it. Not kidding !! Have seen alot of news abt man eater crocs from Bangka and Belitung island got cut to seek for human remain inside its Belly. Traditional mining in the video is actually quite enviroment friendly. You should see goverment operated dredging vessel. It is as huge as offshore accomodation barge, fitted with 700 Tons, 90 mtrs dredger bucket ladder scoop tons of sand from seabed 😅

[@isaacandrewdixon]

It's sad that he has to do such a dangerous job for 13 bucks a day. And even less than that when tin prices go down.

[@fleurdepapaye9635]

13 buckets a day means 260 buckets a month or about Rp 3.9 million in local currency. This amount is still a bit higher than a minimum wage in that region for a fulltime job.

[@roryasrorri701]

it's still better than most scrap jobs around here, man. i'm a small farmer myself in Java. i make less than 300 bucks in three months!

[@pukaseek]

My question is what geological process created such large deposits in the area. There has to be a reason that Indonesia is the largest exporter of tin.

It's basically tins that become an island

[@benjespina]

It is all random chance. Nearly all elements were formed at the heart of a star. The water became rich with tin via runoff from rain and rivers (probably).

[@dannychong7842]

Keep your stupidity since my granny were a tin miner. What he earning indeed more than enough to secure a normal living, just the different my granny have license, what needed by them to sell at normal market value. Me from Malaysia. One day, their children and grandchildren will gain education and be someone even better than us. It just part of a lifecycle that meant to dig out something from beneath the floor, that one day needed for moonbirth. Nothing need to be ashame about his job cos mother nature valued their contribution and sometimes they hit gold as appreciation. NATURE is a self corrective system and knew how to fix the environment after human digged out, what needed by mother nature for 2nd moon survival. Now you understood, why human should not worries about the environment. Sample? Tree breath CO2 during the day but how the forest can survive, if human keep blocking the release of CO2? You need to use your brain, if you want to stop extreme heat and forest burning to create CO2
