Default Worthwhile??

Saw a program on NG Channel about divers at the coasts of Africa, searching for the diamonds at the bottom of the ocean.They are diving at 30-40m excavateing and pumping mad, which contains some raw diamods.

Spending God knows how long time at the bottom, they rush at the surface without deco, takeing suits off and entering HB chambers at once.They can't make deco stop because of the risk of shark attacks.But may earn up to 10.000$ per day, or die in greatist pain-if sharks dont get them first.What a nice job they have....

Was it Namibia?

Skeleton coast area, Strange lands, had a mate out there in construction, he loved the place, touch of the Lawrence of Arabia’s

If its where I think it is, its not called the skeleton coast for nothing, were not talking people, its ships that die there, and lots of them, big sand bars that never stay in the same place.

Very nasty for boats/ships/suction dredgers
