Spearfishing and compressor diving with members of the Bajau sea nomad tribe in remote Indonesia

[lawsonk]

I love the genuineness of this video, nothing is faked for content, it is just regular people doing their jobs and an awesome youtuber filming them!

As a war photographer for 3 decades, I can recognize true artists when I see them, and the kid who published this piece is definitely a pro! Great work, kid

I've been living within the Bajo tribe for around 3 months now just a few kilometers away from Bungin Island in an island called Kaung for an internship program. Coming from a populated city area (Jakarta) and a upper middle class family, I empathize with their living situation so much and I've learned a lot from them. I love this video cause it captures the reality that it isn't as "tribal" as it is and in fact, it's very much modernized. Job well done 👍🏻

We have encountered that "decompression sickness" here in the Philippines due to air compressor fishing. Majority of those guys were paralyzed some were dead.

For a 150 ft dive that lasts 1 hour at depth you would require an estimated 250minutes of decompression time assuming the only gas you were breathing is air. This rough estimate was calculated using a square profile with 10ft deco stops and a 40/85 Gradient Factor.

Love how the guy was ready to give you the fake big tv routine. Had his wooden goggles, tiny rowboat ready.

For a dive on air to 150 feet for 2 hours assuming the first dive of the night would require a minimum of about **7 hours** (423 minutes) of decompression, starting at 70ft and ending at 10 ft. For example:
Depth (ft) , Time (minutes)
70, 3
60, 14
50, 21
40, 32
30, 49
20, 89
10, 214
(Calculated on MultiDeco with ZHL-16C & GF 100/100).

Love your content! As a car painter, I can tell that using such piston air compressor often sends a lot of fine oil particles along with the air, leaving us painters with a fisheye paint problem afterwards, or ruined paint job, and those poor compressor divers with lungs full of oil. You need a series of really good and expensive air filters and water/oil separators to battle that problem, or you just use screw type compressor.
Love your content and the way you tell your stories! Keep up the good work!
Also I am very pleased to see how those natives of the small island were very friendly! Just sad about the island condition, they are a bit dirty, not caring a lot for plastics floating around...

Now, this is how a true documentary should be made! One of the many best videos of yours for sure. Enjoyed every second of it. Genuinely amazing!

[superymariowest]

The closing statement is powerful. People struggling for survival will act out of desperation. People that have some sort of stability have the ability to think ahead and the luxury of making decisions.

It is amazing to see how your channel has grown! I remember when you where just getting started, this is a true blessing that you have worked so hard to create. Enjoy it, keep sharing!

[williamhughes]

I've been an avid fan of the channel for some time now. I must admit that I find it very easy to listen to you as you explain the video. Your content intrigued me from the start and now this video 👍👍. Absolutely awesome and amazing content for everyone. This group of people are incredible and actually scientifically amazing. Thanks for the video and as always I am looking forward to seeing the next one.

[wendyadiyatma]

As an indonesian i entirely shock and sad for them risking their life just for such a smallfish like that. Im definitely getting my freediving course first before i turn spearfishing into a hobby. Thanks a lot dude

[ernesterz]

Amazing video, I really appreciate the fact you kept it real. I can't imagine how much work went into this video. Also the final statement from Peterson is very true!

[Scienceboy]

15:10 I was so invested that I completely forgot compression diving was the focus of the video. You're amazing at this, great work.

[Luca-pcoz]

So refreshing to see your insanely entertaining, informative and maybe most importantly no bs videos. Keep it up i look forward to every video you upload!!

[daryldsouza]

Brilliant video!!! I learned so much from this. Love your content and the fact that you're now making proper lengthy vids and not shorts. Don't get me wrong the yt shorts are great too.

[tilmaen]

Awesome content. Love your honesty. Love the choice of music! Well done!

[evanandkristinpoole]

This video was incredible I love how you accurately captures the real history of these people.

[SmokeyJoe]

This was a really amazing video man, keep up the great work!
