Why Sand Divers Risk Their Lives 300 Times A Day For The World's Most Mined Resource

Imagine how wealthy these dudes would be if hard work paid off.

These type of videos make you rethink your life. We should be grateful for what we have. Huge respect and love to the people, who work like this for their family.

9 tons daily is insane. Dude is in the optimal peak shape. Even with the cigarettes, he's healthier than most "healthy" men

I’ve been watching for years and these videos offer an immensely invaluable look into commonly overlooked places by the developed western world and it is so CRITICAL that these videos exist to share the story’s of our brothers and sisters doing what they can to survive in the ever broadening present world. From the humanity in me speaking, thank you from my heart for creating these videos.  P.s. I’m endlessly curious, how difficult is it to find these beautiful people that are so willing to let westerners film their lives?

Dude is ripped

at 3:58 my guy is bailing water with a cig in his mouth just after the narrator was building up his homie's lung capacity.

I cant imagine just collecting sand by hand all day. Savage

$12 dollars a day?

I feed my local wild birds, a 40 pound bag of fruit nut and seed mix in order for me to pick it up. I have to pick it up from the bottom or lay it flat and divide the weight so when I pick it up, there’s even distribution I can only imagine the way he must be picking up a bucket feels wet, sand, and water to survive his family every day multiple times a day

So this is what Nganou meant when he said he worked in the sand mines. No wonder he was so jacked.

Proud of this father providing for his family 😢 may God make this man prosperous ❤

This dude said “I can hold my breath underwater… for more than a minute I’d say” 😐 I guarantee this dude can hold his breath for 3+ min easily. I used to do diaphragmatic breathing and got up to 3+ min, and I’m not close to being as in shape as he is.

This guy is not built like a bodybuilder, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's stronger with more endurance.

im from Cameroon and i ofen see these guys dive in the Wouri..... Man the job is Risky especially in the rainy season when the water level rises. DAMN

I think it should be noted that Francis Ngannou worked in a sand mine before making it to the UFC which is probably why the competetive sand miner says he's his inspiration beyond Francis being a national hero to many.

Seeing this motivates and encourages me to go harder. These videos should put things into perspective for those who aren’t experiencing circumstances like this. 🙏🏾. Love your family, give thanks to God and work hard for your goals

I thought my job was hard thanks for the reality check.i wish him all the best

12 years hauling sand? These guys would make 1000X their wage on OnlyFans.

They are jacked all natural too....and while smoking as well. These are some hardworking people.

Wearing little to no clothes..... thats called a bathing suit where i m from. Maybe you go in a tuxedo 😅
