Pearls
Since pearls are so fmouse in the entire wide world, espeacially in Bahrain as the pearl of the Arabian Gulf it is an amazing place to explore the greatest treasures of pearls
Enjoy Your Selves :
For many centuries Bahrain has been famous for its pearls and, before the discovery of oil, pearl diving was the main source of income and the foundation for many of the communities on the island. communities on the island. The diving season would last just over four months, from June until early September. Divers would be let down on a weighted rope, remain submerged for about one minute, collecting an average of eight to twelve oysters, and would then be drawn up by the puller (a well-muscled man who would remain on deck). After ten dives, the men would come aboard and rest, drinking coffee and warming themselves whilst another relay of divers took their place. Divers were not paid wages, but instead received a share of the profits received from the sale of the pearls. Unfortunately, as the market was flooded in the 1940s with cultured pearls from Japan,the prices dropped, and by the middle of the decade young men could earn more money in less hazardous occupations on shore. However, the tradition lives on, and about once a year the dhows will set sail to the pearling banks in search of the 'jewels of the deep'
