Watch Vanishing World of the Sea Gypsies

The Moken people of Thailand possess the remarkable ability of holding their breath for 5 minutes underwater and free diving to a depth of 30 meters. Known as the Sea Gypsies, these indigenous people have lived the same way for over 3000 years. Today, their existence is precarious, as the seas they rely on are depleted and development threatens the beaches they have lived on for millennia.
