Just a few days ago, I went off in search of the Malaysian Bajau, who are also known as sea gypsies. My expedition was no smooth ride, as it’s very difficult to come in contact with these people who live far away from civilization. It was a true obstacle course. After several hours in flight, I touched down in Kuala Lumpur before connecting with another three hour flight to Tawau.

It is from here that the tourists leave to go enjoy the wonderful dive sites that Malaysia has to offer. SEA 114 TRAVELLIVE
