Sierra Leone, near Tikonko, spring 1988. A diamond miner ready to dive to the bottom of a river to fill buckets with gravel. The gravel is then checked for diamonds. He has a hose that supplies him with air from a compressor. He is weighted down with lead weights on his belt. Photo by Robert A. Becker.
