The boys are Bajau people (巴瑶族). They are a special group of people whose home is on the sea! They move around a lot, but mainly in the waters of Malaysia and Indonesia. They have no citizenship (国籍), so they can’t live on the mainland.
For over 10000 years, the Bajau people have been living on houseboats. They travel from place to place on the sea and hardly ever go on land. Everything they need comes from the sea, according to the BBC.
The Bajau people are famous for their free diving abilities. They dive for about eight hours each day. Children learn to swim young and begin fishing as early as 8 years old.
This lifestyle has changed their bodies. They have more oxygen in their blood. So their bodies are different from ours. They can dive over 70 meters underwater for a few minutes while catching fish, The Atlantic noted.
