Another fine piece of docu-fiction. These are the real sea gypsies of Phi Phi. They dive for hours scavenging the sea bed using h00kers (no not that type, plastic tube connected to a diving mask) connected to a small compressor on the longtail, you can see the coils of plastic hose in the longtail. They don't follow the rules of diving so finish up getting horrible bent, if you visit the village you will see how the older guys cannot even stand up straight anymore. They must have edited that bit.
BTW the beaches shown at the start are in the Similan Islands, not Phi Phi.
