Diving for Gold
Diving for Gold online na Filmoviplex. Pinut-an barangay in the Philippines is dubbed the underwater Klondike for the massive deposits of gold ore on the bottom of the ocean. Since the 18th century, companies tried to establish mining operations there, but none succeeded: they were driven away by typhoons, landslides or low-profit margins. Ultimately the site was left for the locals. Though mining needs a licence, not having one doesn’t stop gold divers from doing their job. Nor do the immense risks diving poses to their health and the environment. Many divers suffer from decompression sickness, which sometimes leads to death. In the meantime, multiple tunnels they dig in the ocean floor in search of gold nuggets cause landslides. Still, it is the only way for the locals to earn enough for a daily serving of rice.
