- There’s no doubt that compressor diving is a dangerous activity. But for some divers in Taytay, Palawan, it’s the only way to put food on the table.

Thank you FEATR for letting me tell the story of these brave men!
You’re a legend brotha
Great work
You nailed this one!
New sub. 👌🏻
Please dont skip ads. This is the only way i could help
Sarap kausap ng mga ganitong tao, simple, masipag, at may takot sa Dios. Ingatan sana kau palagi sa hanap buhay nyo at marami sana kau palaging huli.
Makes you wonder what the local government is doing. I also came from a family of fishermen. The cousins and nephews of my grandfather in Samar also had to dive with old compressors and flimsy water hoses. They got old doing that and no help from the government whatsoever. We pay huge amount of taxes, we give these people power who live in mansions, but can't even supply decent diving gear to local fishermen? I mean how much would it cost to actually procure decent diving gear every couple of years for these fishermen, compared to their luxurious lifestyle? And even if it hurts the budget a bit, the returns would be 10-fold. Imagine our local fishermen competitive enough that we don't need to import supply from neighboring countries? Best case scenario we could even export some supply if the industry is nationalized. It pains me to still see fishermen engaged in this dangerous kind of livelihood. This shows that "sipag" and "tiyaga", most of the time, would only get you as far as it can, but we still need our government to really work for our kababayans to get out of the poverty hellhole. Rags to riches stories are more of exceptions than an actual surefire thing. Thank you for publishing this documentary, and I hope it would spark some action from the LGUs concerned. At the end of day, all we can do as ordinary citizens is to continously learn about the plight of the masses, our poor kababayans, and join them in voicing out their needs.
10:49 that's a stunning view!!
Congratulations pastor Jasper and FEATR Channel for sharing this kind of story 😇 more documentaries pastor 🤔
More of these please.
Great content as always!!
Thanks featr for featuring that I learned some life lesson on this video
This is common in our area I hope that our government will make something for them like educate them on the danger of this method,
Unta mao ni hatagan ug pagtagad sa gobyerno. Mag supporta sa mangingisda ug mag uuma. Pariha uban sa laing country supportado ilang mga farmers.
Here before it goes viral
Woah😯
yung mga gaumagawa saamin ng ganyan walang gamit na compressor.
The story is fascinating and finely made. Although, it's sad to hear that many of my fellow Filipinos have to take risks to earn a living. Kudos to featr for telling us these kinds of stories. It's my first time hearing about compression fishing even though my dad himself is a fisherman.
ERWAN request naman, gawa ka naman ng video about sa native rice natin dito sa Philippines. Tapos kung pano lutuin since marami pala tayong uri ng native rice dito sa PH. Need ng exposure. Try ko din mag request sa ibang Filipino vlogger 😆
Magandang suggestion po yan, para ma educate tayo, at para ma promote na rin po. ❤️
Ako lang ba? Yung naiyak? I feel for them. Poverty really makes it easy to choose living in danger over being safe but with nothing to eat. I really hope one day, an innovator, a scientist or anyone with skills and technology know-how be able to help develop a system, or a way for them to dive safely. Until then, let's all pray for their safety and bountiful harvest for their dive days
Ipinanganak ako at lumaki sa maliit na isla ng Romblon kung san pangingisda at pag-mamarmol ang pangunahing hanabuhay. At nakita ko na iisa lang ang solusyon para matakasan ang kahirapan, EDUKASYON. Saludo ako sa mga magulang kong katulad nila, itinaya ang panganib na dala ng hanapbuhay mapag-aral lamang kaming magkakapatid. Nawa'y hindi lang dito matapos ang kwento ng mga pangarap niyo, natin. 💙
Dapat ngang mas-accessible ang edukasyon! 🤍
This is what we called "Content". The story gives both the good and bad sides. Thank you and we are hoping for more.
thank you Featr for giving us this series! Always learn from you guys!
Glad to hear that, Feb!
Parang sosyal version documentary, kagaya nung kay Kara David. More content like this ❤
Fisherman and Farmers, these are the Working People Need to Help by the Local & SPECIALLY by National Government Very Much, WHY? because in their field of Job for a Living, it gives Food on the Table for their Families and Also Food for All Filipinos.
🙏🍚💯%👶🌏 #HelpTheNeedyAndYouWillBeBlessedThousandFoldsInGoodIntentions. 👍🐟🥗✌
Eto ang docu hndi yung puro cinematog etc wala manlang laman puro sound designs nlng lge haha eto ang di nakakaboring panoorin ganitong tirada 👍🏻🔥
“Ito lang ang alam namin, para mabuhay kami.” 😭
My fave featr docu yet!!!
*No one could have ever done this documentary better than you do FEATR. Please stay motivated making videos like this. People need to see more of these!*
I definitely agree!
I think Manoy had the bends or decompression sickness, when divers go really deep they can't surface immidiately, they need to surface slowly or else theyll get the bends
Ano ho ang sintomas non sir? Nakamamatay po ba yun?
I think they might pass out when ascending too quickly. It's just from my memory so take it with a grain of salt
Road to 3 Million subscribers! 🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳
So close! 🤍
Ang ganda naman ng series na ganito 💗 Sana meron pang iba. Nakaka amazed na madaming stories yung nalalaman namin dahil sa channel nato. Thank you, FEATR!!! 💗
Teach them to do tiktoc vids or yt vids of the process and vlog their daily life. Take people on diving experience. Just some ways of making some extra cash.
Solid content grabe documentary type
Naawa ako sa kanila, dahil nafefeel ko rin kung gaano kahirap ang pamumuhay sa dagat, kapag walang ibang pinagkikitaan ang aking mga magulang pangingisda rin ang kanilang second option, and maraming pamilya na hindi na ka pagtatapos dahil sa kahirapan, ang mindset nila ay dahil mahirap sila, hindi na nila kaya pang matustusan yung pag aaral e pangingisda nalamang ang kanilang pinagkakakitaan, pero saludo ako sa mga mangingisda dahil kung hindi sa kanila, wala rin tayong mauulam sa pang araw araw, na kung sana matulungan o mabigyan din ng ibang hanap buhay sila manong diyan sa palawan, nakita ko kung gaano kahirap na kahit tourist spot ang palawan pero hindi naman lahat sa kanila diyan ay may business napara mapagkuhanan ng income, wala pa naman ako sa ngayon ma itulong sa inyo mga manong, pero e dadala ko kayo sa prayer, God bless mga ka SDA diyan sa Palawan, hoping and praying na matulungan ko kayo someday.
Yes! Go FEATR. This is how documentaries should be done in the Ph 😜
Awesome story, Jasper!!! Very well said, especially the last part. I also have a friend whose father lost his life to compressor diving in Malapascua, Cebu. Undoubtedly, this is a hard thing to have as a means of livelihood.
Hello Featr. This is great content. Please produce similar videos. We need to be able to educate Filipinos on proper ways of diving.
I have friends in Polillo Island that use those same fish traps and compressor dive. You have to understand that these are standard gasoline or diesel powered air compressors, not designed to give clean air for breathing. The air is unfiltered and it's going to taste like fuel and/or oil. They put Coke or Pepsi inside the air tank to make it taste better. After time those steel tanks also start to rust inside, the taste of rust and burned fuel is not appetizing and not good for your lungs. They use surgical tubing to breath from and it can kink while you're underwater, they are careful but stuff happens. Dangerous method to fish. I wanted to try it when they went spear fishing for Lapu Lapu, but they wouldn't let me... too dangerous they said. Much respect to these fishermen it's a hard way to make a living.
I think the guy with paralysis got the bends. If you're underwater long enough, even at 30-40 feet you can get the bends, I believe. Also, certain types of predisposing medical factors can cause anyone to get the bends easier. It's not so common in shallower water, but decompression sickness is possible. If the diver's are underwater long enough, maybe they should stop midway up for a 10-15 minutes to decompress.
A very dangerous way to dive. They resurface quickly. It may also lead to paralysis.
Naalala ko nuon, first time kung sumama sa pambabaklad, diyan pa yun sa Honda Bay, wala pang mga turista nuon. Nagulat ako na gumagamit sila ng compressor para makahinga sa ilalim, at normal lang sa kanila yung mabutasan at bumuhol ang hose kahit na sumisisid. Buwis buhay sa kakarampot na kita. Hindi biro ang hirap nila para mabigyan tayo ng pagkain sa araw-araw.
Very good documentary film... appreciate for sharing this, warm regard from Brunei Darussalam
Hoping local authorities can provide safer jobs for our people!
Respect to this guys in what they do for a living it is Too dangerous, ( literal na buwis buhay ) I hope the government notice the needs of this compressor divers and give them brand new and proper diving gear and equipment or better yet another means of livelihood.
Thanks Featr for this video.
solid here same situation same courage basta filipino never stop.
Oh, wow. That was emotional towards the end. Great job Jasper! Salute. 🤘
This so fascinating and beautifully made! Well done again FEATR! 👏👏
God will bless you po and protect you always.
Nice Video, Please try to feature also Badil fishing ( Dynamite ). Just to raise awareness. Thanks
Kudos to these fishermen who sacrifice themselves only to help and provide the needs of their families , even it is deadly.
this is so inspiring and informative. i learned so much life lessons. 🥺
This is awesome. More documentaries like this would be great 👌
Cool! The shots are incredible. The story was an eye opener. The one who's narrating it, is doing a great job. Glad I came across this kind of content.
Galing..
Now I saw, I witnessed how hard it was for my parents to earn money just so I could study in a good school😥
🔥🔥🔥👏👏
Ito yung trabaho dati ng papa ko😢. Ng dahil dyan sa compressor diving eh namatay po sya, naubusan daw po ng oxygen 😢
I love Documentaries. Thank you FEATR. ❤ More documentary videos❤
Godly men ❤️
God. I love your channel.
Informative storyline sharing the difficult side in fishing and diving while others only feature the fun part of it.
Good Job!
I love Documentaries. Thank you FEATR. ❤ More documentary videos❤
This episode/story is worthy of an International award. very short but full of emotions.
Tama pero kaylangan din madisiplina sa sarili kc isa din ako compresor diving hanapbuhay namin ng papana simpre madiskarte tayo g pilipino gagawa ng paran para makahinga sa ilalim ng dagat
Kudos FEATR for telling these kinds of stories! It’s inspiring for hear the stories of these compressor divers!
grabe salamt po sa inyo
One of the best! Thank you, Featr! 💙
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
habang pinapapanood ko ito, naalala ko si papa super proud po ako sa'yo. Sobrang hirap ng pangingisda at napakapanganib pero kailngan, super proud ako sayo pa nakapagtapos k ng dalawang anak sa tulong pangingisda at makakatapos ako dahil sa pangingisda mo din
Grabe 👏👏👏
Cinematography is onpoint
😳😳🙏😳😳
They do it relatively safely in Mexico. It's amazing what difference a few $20 diving regulators can make
I recently purchased a 30 foot fishing boat. I made a few repairs and now I will put a coat of varnish. My wife said we need a compressor for certain types of catch. She knows because my father in law is also a fisherman and so my wife has learned and knows a lot. This is why I searched RUclips to see how it's done. The advantage is that you can stay down longer. the disadvantage is the danger. if I purchase scuba gear I will need to search how to make a tank filling machine. I'm not aware of any scuba tank refilling anywhere close to my house. The disadvantage to scuba tanks if a limited air supply. I will have to do some searching and pondering to come up with the safest and most effective system. Good video documentary
Ganyan trabaho ng tatay ko d2 malakas mag pahuli yan
I want FEATR on Netflix
Compressor fishing become the boon here in province of catanduanes that crippled numerous fishermen it was disheartening when we hear the news of people passing or just become vegetative specially if it's a family member or community member, but got no choice as overfishing was rampant this forces fishermen to fish farther. Currently it was banned here but many still do it secretly as bills ain't paying enough.
Damn, compressor diving is so dangerous, the only thing going for them is that they usually have a straight shot to the surface if the pump fails. And compared to the kids gold mining on compressors in the jungle they are at least able to put their kids into school so it seems like they're at least making a bit better money than the compressor gold miners. I've been homeless before for a few years and seeing stories like this still makes me realize I've lived a sheltered life.
Then there's a lot of people complaining about how is life going on and yet forget how hard really it is when you're on the times that you Think, everything would go so easy! 😢
Sup Jasper
Nice Ptr. Jasper
Their language seems to be an amalgamation of several. I am hearing Spanish mixed in with their native tongue...
Nasa remote place sila where other opportunities are beyond their reach
as kuya said, kaya pinupush nila kahit delikado yung trabaho, "para sa pamilya"
The traits they possess are very praiseworthy. Aside from "Sipag" at "tyaga" para sa pamilya, another commendable character of them is that regardless of how dangerous their job looks like, we still can hear how grateful they are in every provision from the sea, whether their harvest is plenty or not.
"Sa grasya/awa ng Diyos", as said, nakapagpatapos na yung isa ng ilan sa mga anak niya thru this job.
I'm assured that they are safe in God's hand.
He is the creator of the sea, air and land, He's in control of any of His creation, esp. His people. Lalu na ang rangal ng trabaho nila.
One of them mentioned the accident of being unconscious while doing the net-things underside, but he said, "Siguro mahal pa rin talaga ako ng Panginoon"
He definitely does! Y'all are loved and safe in His hands!
Praying for more divine intervention in your area!
*If people can't/won't help their fellowmen in their needs, God takes over.
Samson is either the luckiest man in the world or he's a whole other type of human. Beware the old man in the profession where men die young.
Woww ang ganda ng story nkkaiyak
I love Documentaries. Thank you FEATR. ❤ More documentary videos❤

They had no choice.
Thank you for this tribute to our hardworking fishermen. I reserve my highest respect for those who work hard to earn a living, and these divers have it.
