  • The narrator sounds like a headspace coach, it takes away all the danger from the clip😂
  • @EvanSager
    the person talking she is treating this like a ASMR documentary whispering the whole time 😂
  • @Zigazaga420
    I used to clean inside oil tanks and being under air is equally stressful as it is comforting. Being able to breath where you normally cannot is a unique feeling.
  • when you’re so fascinated by your own voice you forget you’re narrating
  • @khrawkupar
    The voice over is not meant for such documentaries.. 🙏
  • Why are you whispering? Is there a sleeping baby next to you when you recorded this narration?
  • @DinoNucci
    Jocko dives so deep to escape this narrator's voice.
  • This is how hard people work, they're not trying to be rich. They just want to feed their family... Respect to all these guys who work so hard for their family. May god protect them
  • The kiss of the hand from his wife made me emotional knowing how happy she is to see her husband safely back home. For such types of jobs we say thanks to God if our loved ones return back home. Some never do.
  • @Aatell764
    Really makes you appreciate your job that's for sure. It's crazy that it's actually illegal what he's doing but it's his only hope. Oh and I've seen a lot of toxic lakes caused by mining and they are always so beautiful, of course its a terrible thing but they get pretty wild looking.

    "I will work till death because of the responsibility I have of my family" What a real gentleman and a genuine tough guy!
  • @Barry_Block
    Always amazing to see video of other careers, places, people around the world. Makes you appreciate what you have even when things gets rough
  • @bkbekka3039
    Much respect to these miners and their families! I cannot imagine having to do such dangerous things just for survival of self and family.
  • @ndgr8claymore
    Amazing documentary. Damn this is hard work...makes you appreciate the work you have & makes you strive for more like a side-hustle biz.
  • @AIMANHAZEEM
    Thank you for making this documentary such knowledge and awareness
  • 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.
