    They teach not to dive alone and use the buddy system.
    Perhaps they could team up. With two divers working back to back the pit should be a larger diameter and less likely to cave in.
    When the pit gets deep only one goes to the bottom and the other works higher while keeping an eye on the buddy.
    A safety rope from the diver to the hose or a buoy could pull the diver free or help the buddy locate and extract a buried diver.
    I hope they try the buddy system. It's safer with little or no cost.
    Maybe a little less productive, maybe not.
    For sure you're not alone down there.

      Trying to pull a person buried in sand, even just their legs trapped, is very likely to kill or maim the diver. Those 4 dredges probably use their hoses together to free the diver by sucking up sand if it happens. They are all from the same village.

    *_One Danger not covered was divers getting the 'Bends'... Any time you are below 33 feet Nitrogen builds up._*
    The divers are working at about 2 Atmospheres of Pressure. Over time Nitrogen from Compressed Air saturate human tissues. Air is 79 percent Nitrogen. On really deep dives or long dives special gas mixtures are used to minimize Nitrogen buildup. These low cost operations do not follow normal safety protocols. At that depth, the diver can only stay underwater for about 45 minutes without having scheduled decompression stops on way back to surface.
    Since Nitrogen bubbles can form in or migrate to any part of the body, Bends can produce many symptoms, and its effects may vary from joint pain and rashes to paralysis and death. Bends often causes air bubbles to settle in major joints like knees or elbows, causing individuals to bend over in excruciating pain, hence its common name, the bends. Individual susceptibility can vary from day to day, and different individuals under the same conditions may be affected differently or not at all. The classification of types of Bends according to symptoms has evolved since its original description in the 19th century. The severity of symptoms varies from barely noticeable to rapidly fatal.
    *_Sometimes severe complications or death can result if a diver gets on airplane and it goes up too fast._*
