I carried my own scuba diving equipment. They also gave us life jackets to wear. As we were sailing, we saw grey dolphins jumping in the sea. When we reached the pearl diving area we stopped and the instructor gave us important instructions. He also told us that we could collect more than 60 oysters while diving and that we are allowed to keep any pearls we found as a souvenir.
