More about Pearl Diving

Pearl diving was tradition cash resource for UAE. it was done country wide by locals in the villages and towns. Unfortunately, very few people now do it. Pearling served as the financial lifeblood for Emiratis in the 1800s. The pearls were used to trade for goods around the world.

The local pearl industry collapsed when Far East (Japan) pearl farmers created the cultured pearl by manually inserting a foreign bead in each oyster to produce fine pearls faster than Arabian pearl divers could find them.Almost overnight, the once elusive and very expensive pearl became affordable for everyone and the Gulf-based pearling economy crashed.

Back in the day before cultured pearls cornered the market, scores of Emirati pearl divers would spend weeks aboard a dhow at sea and up to 300 divers per day would explore the depths of the sea in search of the elusive pink pearl, the most expensive of a range of colours, including the infamous black pearl, from 100 oysters that were found only one pearl could be found.
