The Bajau tribe, also known as Sama-Bajau, are famed for their incredible underwater breath-holding ability, which may last up to 13 minutes.
They are South-east Asia's sea nomads, mainly in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia, and are an intriguing population.
Their livelihood is based on fishing and spear diving, which has allowed generations to improve their breath-holding abilities via constant practice.
Diving techniques involve specific breathing exercises and relaxation strategies to optimize oxygen intake and efficiency before diving.
According to research, some Bajau people may have bigger spleens, which store oxygenated blood and could potentially increase their underwater time.
