Spearfishing (подводная охота) is legal in Kazakhstan as a form of amateur (sport) fishing. Under Article/paragraph 19 of the national Fishing Rules (approved by Order No. 18-04/148 of 27 February 2015), spearguns ('ружья для подводной охоты') may only be used in areas designated for recreational fishing, outside public recreation/swimming zones, and on assigned (leased) fishery water bodies in places marked by the wildlife user. All amateur fishing must use only gear permitting individual, piece-by-piece catch (поштучный лов) for personal consumption; commercial/industrial gear, explosives, poisons and firearms are prohibited. A permit (путевка) is required on assigned (leased) fishery water bodies; on reserve-fund waters fishing up to 5 kg per fisher per visit is free without permits. Seasonal spawning bans apply, and sturgeon (осетровые) are under a year-round catch ban plus a multinational Caspian commercial moratorium. There is no dedicated separate speargun licence; spearfishing follows the general amateur fishing regime.

Apribojimai
- Spearguns (ружья для подводной охоты) allowed only in designated recreational fishing areas and on marked assigned fishery sites, outside public recreation/swimming zones (paragraph 19, Fishing Rules).

Treat scuba spearfishing as uncertain/site-restricted (scuba_allowed left null).

Kazakhstan is functionally landlocked but borders the Caspian Sea (the world's largest enclosed inland body of water), so coastline=true. Spearfishing exists as a recognised form of amateur (sport) fishing under national law. Verbatim provisions captured: speargun use restricted to designated recreational areas outside public swimming zones and to marked leased fishery sites (Fishing Rules para 19); definition of amateur fishing requiring piece-by-piece catch (para 18); free 5 kg/visit allowance on reserve-fund waters (para 20); путёвка requirement on leased waters (para 21); ban on explosives/chemicals/firearms (para 9.13). Seasonal bans: northern Kazakh Caspian sector 25 May–31 Aug (spawning), Mangyshlak archipelago 15 Nov–15 Mar. Sturgeon are under a year-round catch ban plus a multinational Caspian commercial moratorium extended through 2026. Paragraph numbering reflects the consolidated Fishing Rules as retrieved; renumbering may have occurred across amendments — verify the article reference against the current consolidated text on adilet.zan.kz before legal reliance. Whether scuba/aqualung spearfishing is permitted is uncertain: the retrieved Rules text addresses spearguns generally; one secondary source states scuba spearfishing is allowed only at sites specifically designated by fishery-protection authorities. Coordinates for the northern Caspian and Mangyshlak zones are approximate centroids for mapping, not legal boundaries. Confidence is high for the existence and restricted nature of spearfishing and the verbatim text; medium for exact paragraph numbers and scuba rules.
