Is there any way of reviving and developing the profession of diving?

Answer 1

In the United Arab Emirates, pearl divers risked death by drowning and shark attacks, in addition to damaged eardrums, to dive for oysters in the Persian Gulf. The practice was once the major source of income for the majority of inhabitants in the UAE, who would use their share of the proceeds from the pearls to squeak out a living and provide for their families.

Pearl diving was practiced only part of the year, from April to September. During these months, the water was warm enough for divers from Abu Dhabi and Dubai to dive safely. Their boats, known as dhows, were wooden sailing vessels that featured a triangular sail. The most important crew member was the diver himself and the Al Saib, the sailor in charge of pulling him back up to the surface.

And after the discovery of oil pearl diving became less important so no you cannot revive it for the following reasons too:

1. Due to the discovery of oil

2. More jobs in the UAE can now be found

3. It is very risky

4. Not worth it

5. Takes a lot of time

6. Not any one could do it
