Badjao kid with excellent underwater vision 2

            Badjao kids in Philippines learn how to dive in an early age. This boy emerges several meters while his father is catching fish with his harpoon. On the middle of each fishing tour we cook the fish on the boat and eat. They are Badjao - people of the sea.

Badjao kids have excellent under water vision, as they have the capacity to maximally constrict their pupils and therefore focus on small objects under water.
