‘Pearl divers’ and ‘pearl diving’ have become old-fashioned because these days, pearls are grown/cultured in ‘pearl farms’ where it is easy to grow pearls; however, ‘pearl hunting’, ‘pearl diving’ or ‘pearl fishing’ and the ‘pearl divers’  or ‘pearl fishers’ still exist in certain places, and mostly to amuse the tourists, or to find the best ‘natural pearls’ for some rich “pearl collectors” who collect pearls as a hobby. However, the phrase is till used, as amateur divers still go to the sea for pearls. For a sad news article about a young pearl diver of the present days, please click here.
