You are at a jewelry shop in Qatar, you
see gem stones and pearls on the
necklaces and you wonder “How do
people get pearls?” “When did it start?”

find out in PEARL DIVING IN QATAR.

Pearl diving is an
activity that men used
to do to get money.
It involved traveling for
months and months.
People would get ropes
and tie them to the ship
and then tie them to
their bodies and dive to
look for pearls in the
They would collect pearls
to sell them or trade the
pearls with other things,
like food clothing's and
other needs.
The first pearl
trade was in 1887
and in the year
2000 Qatar started
to mine and
discover their oil
and started trading
with other countries
like India and New
Zeeland .

 In
the past pearl diving was important
because without pearl diving in the past
people in Qatar wouldn't have had food
and clothe and all their other needs so
they needed pearls to sell them and
trade them to provide their needs.

People realized pearl diving was really dangoures
so they had to change the way they did it and now
instead of using their bodies, in 1620 a Dutchman
called Cornelius Jacobszoon Drebbel invented a
machine called a submarine. A submarine is
a watercraft capable of independent operation
underwater.


This company is one
of Qatar's biggest
companies for oil
and gas it is called
QATARGAS.
Qatar gas provides
Qatar's need ,it is
the company that is
responsible for
trading the oil.

Pearl diving changed because the way
they used to do it was very complicated
and hard and they use to raise a very
little amount of money in one year so
Qatar decided to start trading the oil
that they have and also sell it ,as I
said before the company QATARGAS is
responsible for selling and trading the
oil.

In the past they used their bodies now they
use a machine called the submarine.
The first submarine was invented in 1620.
Cornelius Jacobszoon Drebbel was the
inventor of the first submarine. He invented it
in the service of James I of England, Cornelius
Jacobszoon Drebbel is a Dutchman from
Dutch.
