The Sea Nomads

The Bajau traditionally reside in small boats topped with thatched roofs to protect them from the elements. They are born and die with the tides, sailing day and night, using their fishing skills to make a living. This is how they earned the title of the “nomads of the seas.”

Bajau people of Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia were first recorded by Europeans when Venetian explorer Antonio Pigafetta met them in 1521 AD. These maritime nomadic people have been fishing and diving for many millennia and over that time they have evolved bigger spleens which allows them to dive for longer than the average human.

According to scientists :

"The bigger spleen makes more oxygen available in their blood for diving. Located close to the stomach, the fist-sized spleen removes old cells from the blood and acts as a biological scuba tank during long dives."

Bajau people can dive to depths of over 200 feet and hold their breath for 13 minutes. They can also walk across the seabed hunting fish. These people live most their lives at sea and are the first known humans genetically adapted to diving.
