Astola island is an adventure dive. It is located about 25 km south of the Balochistan Coast and is 40 km south east of Pasni. it is the largest island of Pakistan but is uninhabited except for feral cats.
To get to Astola, drive all the way from Karachi to Pasni on the Mekran Coastal Highway-about 8hrs , then hire a small fishing boat which will get you to Astola. the boat will take about 5 hrs to get there. We camped there for 3 nights and had brought our own aircompressor. The boat stayed with us for 4 days and cost about Rs 20,000=$350.
The north west cove near a Hindu temple has a lot of sea urchins and sea slugs. depth from 6m to 20m.Visibility is 10m +.
