Indonesia’s Extraordinatory Free-divers

Indonesia’s extraordinary freedivers have developed larger spleens that allow them to dive deeper and longer than a typical human.

Scattered through Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, the Bajau are a semi-nomadic tribe of fishers with extraordinary freediving skills. Research has shown that their anatomy has evolved to help them remain underwater for a longer time. The Bajau’s traditional respect for their environment sets them as an example for ocean conservation.
