Cameroon, 2017. Sand diver, Simon. Simon was the strongest diver on this section of river. A former boxer he was a self-made man. Working his way up to buy his first pirogue, and then a second and then a third and finally a fourth. Simon harboured ambitions to move abroad and to start a new life. On average each diver retrieved around 1.7 tonnes of brickies sand in a roughly three hour shift. Incredible given that each bucket held around 15 kilos of sand.
