In Arabic, Bahrain means “two seas"—the first being the Persian Gulf and the second the sweetwater springs bubbling up from under the 400 square kilometers of oyster beds surrounding the island. Such a unique biosphere of fresh and salt water has imbued local pearls with their distinctively Bahraini luster. If you discover one while out on a dive (Into the Blue Dive Center comes recommended), it’s yours to treasure.
