    Pearl diving has a long history dating back over 7,000 years. Men were traditionally divers, going out to sea from mid-May to early September, which is a period of 4 months and 10 days. They would dive for 12-14 hours per day in a rhythm of diving 5 times then resting once to search for pearls. The divers had to endure difficult conditions, with the first 10 days being the toughest as their bodies adjusted to the strenuous routine. Most divers stopped around age 50 after decades of pearl diving.
