In and around the town of Semporna with its mainly Muslim residents, then to a tiny island in the Celebes Sea. Name of island, if any, unknown. Migratory residents here are the Bajau, known as the “Sea Gypsies”, like the Moken of Thailand and other Southeast Asian islands and coasts. Then a few frames on Sipadan. Under tight military control for years due to piracy, movement on the island was restricted to beach at dockside. (It was a required stopover between dives to register with the well-armed Malaysian Marines running the show.)
