Pearl Diving (Snorkeling or Scuba Diving)
» Bahrain » Bahrain » Bahrain
Since that time, pearl diving has been taken as a profession for some families and a main source of income, powering the whole economy while leaving an unforgettable legacy in Bahrain. Today, Bahrain continues to keep this heritage alive and long lasting, making it a key attraction for both locals and foreigners to enjoy.
Collecting oysters in search of finding a precious pearl, is an excitement that divers feel and cherish, especially after a hard day’s work. Collecting and cracking oysters open requires strength, patience, good eye sight and of course time in order to find that beautiful round plump pearl. The feeling of catching and finding a pearl is indescribable, making you feel proud to have achieved a task that was and still is a heritage brought up by our ancestors and is a pride to our Kingdom, Bahrain.
Our professional dive instructors will guide you through this experience whether you are a beginner (snorkeling) or a certified diver (3 dive sites that you can choose from).

Opinie
The dive itself was suitable for both divers and snorkellers and we had a bonus sighting of a cuttlefish, sea snake and other sea life. We had a good amount of time in the water and were never made to feel rushed.
Once back on board we were shown how to open our oysters and happily nearly everyone in the group was rewarded with a couple of tiny pearls.
Great trip and would definitely recommend. Thanks Ahmed, Bahar and Mohammed!
Note: there are many disreputable taxi drivers about, and outs tried to rip us off on the way back to the cruise ship. We paid $60 to get there but he tried to charge us $100 for the way back. (I gave him $60)
I instantly got a great vibe from Ahmed and Baher and decided to go for my PADI Open Water course here, passed the theory with Ahmed and went pearl diving with Baher. I am yet to go back and finish my last few dives for my certification but the guys have been extremely accomodating with the course and the dives despite my busy schedule and most importantly they know their stuff.
Looking forward to trying something other than pearl diving next time I go back, I'm sure it'll be great, the guys are down to earth and very knowledgeable.
Best regards,
