The Bajau Laut tribes of Semporna are known for their seafaring skills. Bajau Laut tribes are usually known as the sea gypsy people, a term normally associated with the island people of the Pacific, especially in Borneo, southern Philippines area and other smaller islands.

The ocean is still their main source of living - fishing, collecting clams and mussels, and even pearl farming in the remote islands of Bodga
