9. Pearl Diver

Pearls are found all the way on the bottom of the ocean. Pearl divers make the dangerous dive all the way down to scoop up these pearls. Scuba divers usually use a breathing apparatus when they make their dives, however most pearl divers hold their breaths, often using a nose plug when they dive down. They use a bag or basket to collect these oysters. If you enjoy challenges and adventures, pearl diving might be for you. These pearls you collect can be sold for top dollar.
