Under the sky, in the ocean, that’s where the Bajau Laut people live.

Paradise on Earth
Ocean with crystal clear water, basic and simple life, is this for you?

Semporna is a small coastal town located eash of Sabah, Malaysia. It is one of the gateway to the world renowned diving paradise, the Sipadan Island. Little do people know, it is also a gateway to many other islands that are paradise for photography.
Many of the Bajau Laut people, or so called Sea Gypsy, live in the ocean and the near the shore of the Sabah mainland and islands. Their living environment is down to earth basic, with inadequate power and water supply. Living in a house is a luxury for them. Many of the shelters that stand in the sea is made of atap and can be demolished by any stronger wind or storm. Yet, they have been living in such condition for many generations. They are a bunch of friendly, happy, and self fullfil people living in an incredibly beautiful ocean with crystal clear water.

    yup… since your Sipadan trip didnt happen, you should give this place a shot. Sipadan Island is just one and half hour boat ride from Semporna. There are many diving and snorkeling spots there.
