Karachi coast
Churna Island
Churna Island is a Karachi-coast day for freediving and spearfishing skills with Waqar Khan.
Written by Waqar Khan, founder of Pakistan Spearfishing.
The place
The island sits off the Karachi coast. A day here is planned around the boat, the weather and the experience of the people on board.
Pakistan Spearfishing does not publish a standing visibility figure or a maximum depth for Churna. Both are confirmed for that day.
Freediving
Open-water practice for students who are ready to leave the immediate shore.
Spearfishing skills
A coastal day to read structure and fish behaviour, with the same ethical rule used everywhere: take only what you will use.
Safety
Boat days need a clear plan for entry, exit and who is watching the surface. Beginners only come if Waqar has already set that session for a first course.
