At some point it becomes quite stupid. The scaphander has existed for centuries now. You could the job 10 times as fast with rudimentary tech.
Strongest American vs Normal Underwater Sand Miner from Africa
Swimming 300x a day and getting sand underwater with a steel bucket is already unbelievable. But what's terrifying is the muddy water that makes this job awfully hard.
$12 a day is way too small for such risky kind of work.
Please get this message to Elvis 's boss.
How EXPLOTED 🤔 ❓️ we have to help them. Contractors who they are.
They all look like professional athletes

HOW DO YOU SWIM UP WITH A BUCKET OF SAND. I CAN'T EVEN WALK WITH A BUCKET OF SAND
No man 👨 n earth should have took this hard. People these days always pump “if a man doesn’t work hard for 30 years then he’s NOT A MAN!!!” Gtf out of here with that. And I’m guessing he barely gets by as well. Just heartbreaking to see people have to work there whole life just to barely make it and then die. How is that fair. Excuse me I’m just going through the motions right now haha.
It hurts me when i see they do this without swimming googles 🥹. Respect for the guy
Glass –
Wow black people are so strong. 😳 🤔
So the guy who comes in with a couple of waste pumps and a barge would be a tycoon
"he can't see anything" under the water..? Obviously..?
4 hours a day? lazy part timer
I'm so sad that you have to do that for a living
And ppl wonder why land is sinking sand harvesting …. Can’t we use other materials? Like stone?
My friend used to mine sand, and he died in a quicksand.😢
No one talkin bout the bucket that’s rough
Johnny Paycheck: "Take this job and shove it, I ain't workin here no more "!!!!😊
And you simps believe everything online?
I tip my hat off to these guys, hard work, but, you aint mining 9 tonnes in 4 hours, no chance, the job these people are doing is WAY HARDER than that and 9 tones in 4 hours is crazy, i do not believe it for a second.
How deep do they dive, the weight of sand and water, the amount lost between dives on coming to the surface, i would expect a maximum of 4 tones, 6 at a push.
