| Talking about divers my mom totally bought into this story when she was in Korea. For some reason they passed by a pearl farm and she saw pearl divers jumping into a body of water at a pearl farm in Cheju Island or something. I was totally baffled when she told me it was a dying trade as the pearl divers got asthma from the water pressure etc. I know they can get barotrauma but they don't actually carry tanks. The part I don't understand is why there would be pearl divers on a pearl farm. |
