Various people who may come up with pearls (6)
I believe the answer is:
divers
This could be a double definition.
'various' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'people who may come up with pearls' is the second definition.
'divers' can be an answer for 'people' (diver is a kind of person). I'm not sure about the remainder of the definition.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for divers that I've seen before include "ducklike birds" , "footballers cheating" , "Several underwater workers" , "Plungers" , "Penguins, say" .)
