Spearfishing and compressor diving with members of the Bajau sea nomad tribe in remote Indonesia
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!
Right! Solid content even is He doesn't like talking to the camera. 😁👍
M.
I've been watching his content for a while, every video is legit 💪🏽🤞🏽
nah yeah just mantis shrimp punching out dugeons haha
the best part about this video is his "wife"
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
No care about your war photography feed your ego somewhere else.
have some respect kid, your obv no more than 15@@RumblesBettr
Kid, kid, kid, kid. Maybe you’re full of shit, kid.
He is an adult man tho....
3 decades. Dang, you just missed the "British war" over Falkland then?
Hope you're okay man, I've thought about doing it, I definitely have the stupid to do it, but I'm not a groundbreaking photographer, and I doubt I'd be able to get going on my own. War photographers are incredibly important, and have been all the way since it started in 1840 / 1850! We're closing in on 200 years of war photographing tradition! ❤️🤍💙
We have encountered that "decompression sickness" here in the Philippines due to air compressor fishing. Majority of those guys were paralyzed some were dead.
They csn just tsna mini tank as a safety xD
@@aliabouhadjar2699 Do you expect Bajao people to carry safety tanks, let alone afford one? Lol
You have to ascend slower than when u descend. To allow the nitrogen bubbles In ur blood to dissipate(lessen).
some of my relatives die while spear fishing using a compressor.
It just unfortunately isn't viable honestly... it's a sad state of affair!
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 👍🏻
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.
Added comment unrelated to diving: Peterson is right that when people are not struggling financially that they are more mindful of their surroundings and the environment (usually). But, I think a lot of Peterson's notions about what political practices create "wealth for all" are just hot air.
I came here to find that you'd beaten me to the answer. Interestingly he says in the video "they stay at this depth...hours [plural] at a time". Just thinking about how much deco they are skipping gives me a rash!
How are they not getting nitrogen narcosis staying that deep for that long on regular air?
This seems to be super long, for a dive at 150ft/46m that last 1 hour for an adult in good shape breathing normal air i think 135 min decompression stop is enough
@@NauticalWizard I imagine it's partly down to their unique physiology, maybe a bit of a trained response to bubble formation, and probably a big part of their dive is spent much shallower than the maximum depth they reported.
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!
Lol but he got it wrong? Badjao(Bajau) people are from the Philippines. He didn’t even do proper research before discrediting a whole people,… lol
@@NaomiJ420 Hi! At least he went there and documented everything he saw without telling any fairytales. And he did mention that It's according to Google at 3:20. Although I don't recall him mentioning that the Badjao people originate from Indonesia, he did mention that there is a group of people locally known as Badjao.
Nevertheless, he tried to be as honest as possible throughout the video and it was delightful to watch.
Love how the guy was ready to give you the fake big tv routine. Had his wooden goggles, tiny rowboat ready.
Very cool vid but the music was irritating
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
So you need to be taught how to hold your breath.. good luck friend
@@chrisgarrison1503 yes please teach me master. I believe you already mastering your mammalian diving reflex when on mom's belly
This is the most amazing of his videos I've ever seen.. and one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen from anybody.
I love it.
I'll probably even rewatch it once or twice.. maybe even 3 times.
I really want to go here one day. Not going to be free diving though lol
riskit for a biscuit is the Indonesian way
kemane aje lu? hidup lu enak di perumahan elit,banyak main di pelosok lu bro kenali sosial ekonomi nya...jgn belagu!!!!
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.
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.
The worst person you know just made a great point
@@Firemon-fs9khJordan Peterson is a great person!
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).
is there also an issue because they re breathig straight compressed air? does that compound the problem?>
@@lowristocrat3824 It can, but with such an extreme dive profile I dunno how much of a difference it would make. Gas mixes such as nitrox, trimix, and heliox can be used to do things like reduce decompression time, extend time at depth, or increase the max operational depth. Nitrogen and oxygen are both narcotic and toxic above certain partial pressures. So with training, careful planning, and the right equipment, its possible to plan a dive that utilizes different mixtures at different depths to provide the desired dive profile. But it takes refined skill and equipment, and since I just hold a basic open water dive cert, that's the extent of my knowledge. My grandpa did research dives in excess of 250ft, but he has passed so I can't ask him about it
@@pohlec89 I've always been interested in how deep it's possible to go, given cavedivong can go 500+ feet. I don't know what's most dangerous, but I'm aware humans would do better if we didn't have compressible gasses in our system, but rather a breathable liquid so we can't be crushed at depths, kinda like how sperm whales do it, keeping most oxygen directly in the blood, instead of the lungs!
Divers that work at extreme depths uses an air mix containing Helium. I don't know the real science behind it but I think it counters the nitrogen in the body.@@pohlec89
This is one of my favorite videos you've done so far, I loved seeing you interact with the locals and telling the story of their lives. Hope to see more like this!
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!!
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!
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!
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.
This video was incredible I love how you accurately captures the real history of these people.
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...
I just want to say what a hook. Your first 3min did a great job of captivating, putting questions and rebuttals out. I'm exited to see you go meet them.
Loved this longer form story! Don’t worry about being on camera talking, you come across great!!
This was a really amazing video man, keep up the great work!
Incredibly awesome video my man! I’ll be on the edge of my seat waiting for another video about the bajau when you go back and see some of the other islands!
Awesome content. Love your honesty. Love the choice of music! Well done!
Luv these LONG videos yet luv the shorts as well!.
Great content!.
One of the best videos so far. A true documentary. Very nice.
This was my new favorite video on the whole of youtube. Thank you for this!
I binged watched every one of your videos like it was the newest season of GOT. Love your take on the lifestyle of freediving and I really enjoy seeing big tuna, real culture and delicious food. Maybe I’ll see you in Bali this fall! 😎 🤿 🐟
The last 2 or 3 seasons of GoT were absolutely terrible.
Loving the long video format. Great work
Years ago I worked in a small dive shop on an island in the Pacific, the small compressor we used was essentially the same as used for tires, except that a system of filters (charcoal I believe) was used to clean the air that I pumped into 80 cf tanks. That's what I recall. I wonder if anyone has made the effort to introduce filters on the compressors they use to these divers. Or does it make a difference, I don't know. The shop also had a bunch of those frogman double hose regulators like Mike Nelson used on the TV show which looked pretty cool at the time. I don't remember seeing any PADI or NAUI cards or schools. The shop only rented to divers they schooled or divers affiliated with the US Navy. It wasn't unusual to see divers spearfish 300-400 lb grouper, or even larger bottom fish back then. The owner of the shop was one of the first divers approached by J Cousteau to test the SCUBA as invented by Cousteau.
This is a great documentary, vlog and educational video and you're a great story teller!
I love you for your honesty makes the video more real and enjoyable. I wish our media houses shared nothing but the truth and this world would be a better place 😊
Interested in seeing you explore other, more remote Bajou villages.
What a high-quality video! I love the realistic portrayal of the world. Keep up the good work. Also, the Peterson ending with the video overlay was great.
Documentary a++++
And the soundtrack is AMAZING
Dear Mr Skattum. Assuming that when you have money in your pocket, (product of the economic growth) will instinctively make you a more environmentally conscious human being is like saying that eating eggs will make your beard grow. Can happen, but it also may not happen.
Education and simplicity. That would be for me.
xoxo
@@marcostirado1730 shut up bro he was complementing the video
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.
This was such an authentic video! Immediately subscribed 🤙
Also I’ve always been curious how people shoot videos who hate talking to cameras haha
Professional breath hold diver Budimir Šobat's world record of 24 minutes and 37 seconds holding his breath underwater.
Interesting to see another island like this. Pulau Mesa i thought it was the most densly populated island in the world. not far from Labuan Bajo.
thanks for sharing
This was amazing. Thanks for the honesty 🙏🙏😊
Yes. I’ve been waiting for this and it’s a half hour!🍿
I did a liveaboard dive trip around Sumba and Sawu a few years back, and the one thing I couldn't believe was the sheer amount of trash that was absolutely everywhere! Really really sad to see...
Why don’t they clean it up?
@@joras7457 just not within their nature to do so, I guess...pretty common sight in many developing nations. Poor people aren't as a concerned by their surroundings as people in more affluent countries. Guess they have bigger problems to worry about. Maybe its an education thing, I don't know.
@@joras7457 Man, tell me you don't spend time in the ocean without telling me you don't spend time in the ocean.
The entire thing is covered in plastic waste. We do a beach clean on my island and one storm later the whole beach is calf-deep in plastic again.
The real question is why don't you stop using all plastic products? If half of all people did that the ocean would be a lot less nasty.
But just to be honest, micro plastic doesn't go away. The ocean is 100% dying, and your thoughtless use of plastic is causing it. Nothing you do now can change that.
@@toknowwhyuneed3593 I agree about the plastic bottles they should stop using them . Maybe go with cardboard instead .I spend a lot of time cleaning beaches and the ocean, and can’t pick up some of the plastic that has broken down to the micro plastic level ..
Besides being unsightly and some aquatic life having problems digesting or wearing it What is the biggest threat from plastic in the ocean?
Youre so sound dude. I love that ive seen you grow by millions of followers over what feels like such a short time!
Amazing video! In addition to the fantastic production, it is very interesting to see the adaptations that our body (and other living beings) acquires to adapt to the environment and activities.
I love how he said “but those 2 guys are professionals” as if the sea nomads aren’t doing it since they’re born to literally SURVIVE.
compressor diving is illegal in the Philippines. but this is the best real talk documentary about spear fishing... thanks for sharing. watching from the Philippines.
this was phenomenal, great video
Thanks for the honest video, I really appreciate it and I’m definitely a new subscriber to your channel.
The auto tire compressor is fine if the right oil is used.
As a commercial Diver when I came in from oilfield diving to inshore diving we used tool compressors from home Depot with extra volume tanks and LP oil for dive compressors. We where diving normal commercial helmets to a max deep of around 25 meters
You can use OILESS Compressor
you ran your compressor on an electric motor no doubt? A gas motor spewing carbon monoxide right next to a compressor intake is a good way to get CO poisoning.
I was wondering why your channel was relatively quiet for a while. Thanks for making great content, as always.
Any place with a lot of people in one spot seems to decimate the wildlife around the area. Its the same in the Caribbean too. Not that I blame them for trying to survive.
I agree with you. While it is sad that old lifestyles die, I think its better for the people as well as the natural environment to help folks modernize. Its inevitable anyways, so all we can do is to help the smooth transition.
I love your video and story. Thank you for all the time you spent going out there and putting them together. If I may, I have one constructive criticism: sometimes the music is louder than your voice and it's really hard to hear what you're saying (which is very interesting and I don't want to miss because I all about learning!) and find myself turning on subtitles to understand batter. As I said, I love your videos. Keep up the good work!
Just found your channel today, and I must say I'm a fan. I grew up on a sailboat in Mexico & the South Pacific islands, and spearfishing was the most reliable way of stocking the freezer. Was particularly epic in Tuamotu, French Polynesia, which is also where I learned how to scuba dive courtesy of the French Foreign Legion. That said, 75ft is my personal freediving record, which was quite deep enough thank you. Those guys who fish using pony bottles or air compressors... yikes. When I was 9 we came across a drifting panga in Baja California with a dead fisherman and air compressor in it. He made it back into his boat, but presumably succumbed to decompression sickness after. From the way he looked, it must have been an extremely painful way to go
Modern diveing rules are more savety driven than anything else. You can go up and down in the collumn, higher pressure is the actual treatment for compression sickness. if he goes up to drop off a fish and then goes back down the nitrogen bubbles get compressed back down and hes fine. While he hops between surface and depth the actual pressure hes under is not as high as if he was constantly under water.
You have to visit sama -bajau in philippines down in zamboanga - sulu because they still practice deep diving and still living in boats
What a great video and the ending with Dr. Peterson was excellent!
Great video and thanks for your honesty.
Try the Philippine bajao. They are still doing free diving. Mindanao or dumagat in Isabela in Luzon .. BBC 9 years ago feature Badjao in the Philippines not Indonesia.
In case you’re wondering what the most populated island on the world is, I think it’s Java, Indonesia with around 150 million people
true but that island was another level
He was talking about population density. So more so the amount of people per sq KM/mile
Amazing Video , thank you for sharing your experience!
As someone who scuba dive i really love your video,it an amazing place and some amazing people love from the Caribbean🇻🇨🇻🇨
Love your content❤
I used to do this type of COmpressor spear-diving at night in the Philippines. Indeed it's very unsafe and dangerous. I have watch few of my buddies died or crippled (due to bends). Looking back, our compressor did not even have a regulator/dryer.
You don't need a dryer. Contrary you need the moisture in the compressed air!
Amazing video the ending was perfect. This explains that.
This is absolutely wild! To merge sea nomads with scuba diving techniques 😮
My grandfather used to spearfish whenever he could, he grew up during the Japanese colonization of the Philippines so he couldn’t really go to school, he decided he’d make a living off the sea, whether he was day fishing or night fishing he could dive up to 80-100 feet barefoot, no gear at all and could hold his breath for 2 minutes, said it was a lot slower though since he didn’t have a flipper when he first used to dive, notice how I singularly said “flipper” the man only had one flipper made out of a flat piece of plastic which he’d use to dive, my uncle now uses that same flipper whenever he goes fishing, he too can dive up to 20 meters or more, I also just use one flipper I made from a plastic barrel lying around in my dad’s construction yard but I can only dive 25 feet though :P I only get to see the sea every summer, can’t reach a depth of 20 meters just yet, hopefully one day. Great video by the way, love the Jordan Peterson bit at the end.
Please keep posting longer vids there so good 🙏🙏
Can we get more of these types of vids? this was amazing!
We also have badjao community (or sea jepseys) here in Philippine. There really good in diving probably because fishing is their number 1 source of income primarily spear fishing. Through the years of passing that kind of way of living they probably develop a very strong spleen.
Gypsies
@@asteforce ops sorry my bad I’m very bad in spelling..
The sea nomads makes me wonder if in a few centuries jobs we take throughout our lives will make our bodies adapt to it. So like if we used our computers for many hours a day, everyday, would our eyes be more accustomed to our screens?
Apparently they spleens are special and act as a reservoir for oxygen rich 🩸 blood adding to their dive capacity
13:25 ah 😮yes. Thought so 😊
Dune builds on this concept. If you use your body for one purpose only, body evolves to meet the challenge
I think a key ingredient is the danger involved. Having a small spleen makes you more likely to drown, but having irritable eyes... not a trait that will be quickly selected out.
@@matthewworkman201 yep, you gotta get killed for your deficiencies in order to weed them out. In many ways modern technology which protects the weak slows evolution or allows less desirable traits to continue (to be clear, I don’t think this is a bad thing, it’s just an observation)
the sea nomad stories pop up alot. they are good divers but the claimed times have never been close to replicated ever. it essentially boils down to "trust me bro "that guy dives for 13 minutes"
This was a amazing video love it and keep going brother ❤
Well documented. I like the narrator. He nailed it. Keep it up.
My dad used to practice same method of diving. Now one ear doesn’t work at all 😂
Also he had a lot of health issues . This video is f*^+ing awesome you killed it
the reason the guy could go up and then come down like he did was because he was using the water as a pressure chamber like is used to treat decompression sickness. it is a technique utilized by cave divers and tech divers often
Would you add on this? I didn't understand how it works
Thanks you for making this video and in your specific style as well. New subscriber here :)
This was great. Really well made.
I am from Saudi Arabia, and I can hold my breath up to 3 minutes, but my major problem is with deep pressure under 8 meters 😵💫😵
Born rich you don’t need to go attend school and you can do whatever you y want growing up 🤡🤡
@Axellzy I am not rich. Not all Saudis are rich , but thank God I am ok .
The two videos were made in different places, although they are still of the same tribe, the one on Sumbawa has been slightly contaminated with the progress of the times and the mixing of tribes that has occurred through marriage, the tribes in the Bajo tribe on Sumbawa have also begun to wane. It's different from what NetGeo documented, they are still very natural and the tribes that NetGOE recorded are tribes in Sulawesi, they are still original, and the difference is that NetGeo made videos for years ago while this video was only made or uploaded a few months ago, due to the times the Bajo tribe has also been slightly affected by progress and has begun to abandon their diving habits a little, therefore their abilities begin to decrease, and everyone has different abilities.
Watching from Belize central america I'm from and thanks for the upload!! Divers in Belize don't use that method but our central american neighbors Nicaragua and Honduras fishermen do use compressor air!!✌🏽🙏🌎🇧🇿
Truly Outstanding, loved it.
I think all races of people can free dive a similar amount, if you dive every day from a child you grow and adapt to it that's probably why they are great divers (bullcrap 15minutes as there would be video proof), its not just genetics its practice anybody who dives all day for their entire life will be able to do it no matter where they are from.
That's an idyllic egalitarian view of nature and unfortunately nature doesn't know what egalitarian means.
Genetics do play a role and can really change what animals can do and the way they live.
I doubt in-experienced divers with 50% bigger spleens could easily out-match an experienced diver. But if both were experienced divers?
The one with 50% bigger spleen would definitely have the advantage.
@@massivecent3729 There's a paper on the research journal Cell. "Physiological and Genetic Adaptations to Diving in
Sea Nomads"
The proof is already there- just because you didn't see it yet doesn't mean it exists.
You have a point though- the younger Bajau people dive with oxygen and have lost the ability to breathe longer under water than regular people- though they still have bigger spleens. They simply don't need to train themselves to breathe longer anymore.
Our bodies are malleable enough that life and environment affect it- and skills not needed or used will be lot over the course of a lifetime even if you've got physiological advantages for it.
The adaptation of bigger spleens still lives on in the local population- like how we have Wisdom Teeth for grinding up leaves but don't need them anymore.
@@ANO-.-NYM You also need to remind him, that these young Indonesian, smokes, like a lot.
Video was 100% fantastic ... Until Peterson had to ruin the ending by being on screen and saying words😔
i'm not particularly familiar with the guy, but can i ask what problem you found with the things he said in that clip at the end?
I love the reality of this video! VERY rare!
Excellent job!
Brilliant video as always.
Use the metric system please its so frustrating for all non-americans watching your videos. At least put a label in the video with the meter equivalent.
deal with it 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@user-wl1oi6fd2l you had a mass shooting yesterday
love the ending. it make me feel like the things I find right and interesting are coming together.
10/10 documentary and you are good in front of camera.
I've never related more to a youtuber. The on camera talking is always so awkward for me I loathe it. But the voiceovers are astounding. I love how genuine this is. Keep it up brother
My boy this is great no bs straight foward
Brilliant video. And massive DT.
Superb job on idea, video and editing 👍
Just love your contents! I live 50kms far from the sea, but i just love the sea and fishing. Living in the Philippines, we also have Badjao tribe here and they are sea people naturally.Their diving skills are truly amazing!
( Can i have one of that cap please 🙏🙏🙏 with the marlin design 😊)
Honest content. Love it
The "should you drink tonight" written on the wall lol. You've got some amazing friends dude!
Thanks for this one man
Great job really appreciate the authenticness the best
Easily one of the best videos on TH-cam.
Guanaja, Honduras is similar. They live on top of dead coral 🪸 in a small quay.
I love the scientific take at the end.
That's why I never watch regular tv since 2008!!! Thank you for the video! The original one is actually one of my favorite too,but now im wondering if there is anything authentic left anywhere. Or if it is a bad thing if there isn't. Still those people have extraordinary and risky life,but when you said they can get a better job,not having to.risk their lives everyday... Just imagine what one of them thinks about living in LA,working in a office at 60th floor,breathing that air and eating that food and having that stresse. We are not any different actually!
There are a lot of bajau in sulu Philippines where they still practice free diving and spear fishing
Great video, you've got yourself a new subscriber!
Amazing video!!! So well done.
