After having a picnic at Mubarak Village we 360training fellows are now very interested in Sucba Diving. I would like to share something about the Charna Island and the video of scooba diving. The video contains the informatory text mainly about the fishes. I wonder to see stingray and the diver was very interesting in discovering the stingray fish.
Brief information regarding the Charna Island
Churna Island is a small island located in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. It is situated one nautical mile northwest of a fishing settlement Mubarak Village. It is a 2 x 3 square kilometer barren island with no civilian population. Most commonly seen fauna on the island is poisonous sea snake.
It is famous for the marine life around it, which includes barracuda, grey shark, eel, angel fish, sea urchin, sea fan, oyster, ray fish and rare green turtle. Pakistan Game Fishing Association holds national angling competitions near this island.
Area surrounding this island is popular for scuba diving because of the presence of widely varied marine life and different kinds of corral reef. Some claim that there are more than 60 types of corals found near Charna waters and many new corals started to flourish after the 2005 tsunami in Indian Ocean[1]. IndusScuba, a PADI certified organization, brings local enthusiasts while foreigners are also often seen clad in diving suits in the nearby Mubarak Village.
