Job, adventure, or profitable hobby- akin to prospecting for say Gold or Uranium on a different scale. Many Pearl Divers were women and they had an extra reserve capacity for underwater breathing- or so the legend went. I assume you mean Pearl diving as an occupation and profitable hobby- not some dirty expression that might have the same name!

Some divers also used weighted belts to help them dive deeper and return to the surface quickly. In modern times, divers may use scuba gear to breathe underwater more easily and safely.

What are three factors that made pearl diving so dangerous in the early 1900s?

Free divers risk the danger of drowning while underwater, especially in areas requiring divers to descend to extreme depths. All pearl divers risk encountering dangers under the water, including sharks and other sea life. Many Australian pearl divers perished during storms that claimed the pearling boats while the divers were still on the bottom. Beyond environmental hazards, pearl divers also have to cope with the "bends," a condition caused when rapid decompression from quick surface ascent causes nitrogen bubbles to form in the bloodstream.
