I can't imagine such work, but I'm sure the divers do take pride in their skill. It is pretty incredible. Thanks so much for writing!Ann B.

As far as I know, the diving girls do their job, and have for equipment, the same as it was in this series of pictures to the present. They are "free divers", which means no air tanks. Other than the masks they have no special equipment. They pride themselves on how long they can dive for. Water temperature is a huge factor for them, But they simply hold their breath.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286571369416473043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799438278337342869.post-64344918256488026142016-04-04T15:11:19.322-07:002016-04-04T15:11:19.322-07:00A fascinating insight into the production of pearl...A fascinating insight into the production of pearls Ann.
