Best Answer

Prior to the discovery of petroleum in the Persian Gulf region, there were few economically viable activities for Arabs around the Persian Gulf to engage in. Pearl diving, while fraught with risks, is very lucrative because of the demand for pearls. As a result, a number of Arabs chose to engage in pearl diving.
