Here we have a Japanese pearl diver. with only a snorkeling mask,, he dives deep into the ocean to retrieve his prize, the expensive and shiny pearls, secreted away inside oysters.
Pearls are mostly farmed nowadays, and this dangerous, stupid, but nonetheless interesting activity is dying out.
Occasionally you can see fish, or even, provided you are in an approved location, spear them. I have been known to.
