This clue could be a double definition.

'sundry' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pearl seekers' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for divers that I've seen before include "Various for underwater workers?" , "Many and different" , "footballers cheating" , "Several underwater workers" , "people taking the plunge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
