Holiday Ayo - If you think tribes only live in the deep jungles, you will be surprised to read about the Bajau people, who live right on the seas.

Right on the coastal areas of Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia, the Bajau Tribe (also known as the sea gypsies) is a fascinating group of mobile maritime people who spend their whole life at sea, where the ocean is their playground and hunting ground!

Living without the comforts of modern life, these boat-dwelling nomads have no citizenship (they are stateless) and therefore have no right to public education.

Believe it or not, the Bajau people have developed unique physical capabilities that enable them to see better, clearer, as well as dive and hold their breath underwater, longer than any of us can.

Being in the water is so important to them that they even deliberately rupture their eardrums at a young age, so you’ll realize that some of the older folks might be a little hard of hearing.

And when they are off hunting in the depths of the ocean, all they need are handmade wooden goggles, spear guns from boat timber, tire rubber, and scrap metal. These seem to be adequate enough for their military precision underwater.

When they return to shore, they will surprise you with an array of crustaceans you never knew could be eaten!
