Selecting the Future

Children of the Bajau Laut tribe are trained extremely early to become comfortable diving deep underwater. In fact, if a child doesn’t pass a rigorous swimming test by age 10, they are stationed on the shore and in boats to make sure that their fellow tribe members stay safe while diving. Those who do not dive manage the cooking, cleaning, bed making, and scheduling for those who dive to make the tribe money.
