While for somebody like me, those are just adventures, for some people around the world, fishing still remains the main way to provide for themselves and their families.
For example, the Bajau people of South-East Asia live in stilt houses and fish underwater. Sometimes known as the sea gypsies of Malaysia and Indonesia, they are renowned natural freedivers. Traditionally, they are born, live and die at sea, and fish by diving 20m (more than 65ft) underwater for minutes at a time on one breath.
Below is an amazing video of a Bajau fisherman who free-divers to 20 meters to catch a fish.
