Pakistan videos
Here are some underwater videos from off the coast of Baluchistan (Pakistan). The dive season seems late this year, as the underwater visibility is really not what it should be for this time of the year.
Almost a hand to camera contest with cuttlefish, at Astola Island, 25kms off the coast of Balochstan (near Pasni), Pakistan.
Nice bed of soft corals just off the hammerhead in Gwadar.
Sweet!
Sign me up for a few dives.
Thanks.
Pakistan coast is virtually un-explored, and is rich with marine life. Lots of things to be discovered out there.

The diving season is from Nov to Feb. With the best visibility in Dec/Jan. If you are really interested, then get a group together and we will give it a shot next year.
In the meanwhile I have more exploring to do
:-)
Nice videos...the dueling cuttlefish was really fascinating to watch.

Hi
We are moving to Pakistan next year and will be based in Islamabad. Do you live in Pakistan? Do you know if there's dive clubs or dive groups in Islamabad?

Never would have thought about diving in Pakistan!
Thanks for posting

Randel,
Pakistan?! Is that an embassy sort of thing? How will you tear yourself away from the Pinas?!

Hey deepdiver! As I told you when you were here diving with me in Thailand, I'll be in Pakistan next month. But unfortunately, it will be just an in-and-out trip, I think, with no time for diving. Anyway, I hope we can meet up while I'm there! Will your dive-buddy brothers be around?
Hey Quero! One of my brothers lives in NYC a brother and a sister in Sydney, AU. We all dive and a sibling get-together is our ala bi for diving ;-)Originally Posted by Quero
Let me know when you are coming down here (I am out of town a lot) may be some diving can be arranged.
There is lots of good diving here Nov-Feb. Lots of fish that feed off the plankton blooms of the Arabian Sea during the summer. The food chain goes right up to the big marine mammals. And due to primitive local fishing techniques, most of the region is un-spoiled and pristine. However that may change in the coming years.
Hopefully, this year I will get a chance to make a whole documentary on one of our marine regions. That should carry a lot of information to the outside world.
