Best for advanced divers, 16-33m, boat entry.
The British Loyalty is a sunken oil tanker resting on a sandy bottom in Addu Atoll. As an artificial reef, the wreck spans depths from 16 to 33 metres, requiring advanced diving skills and careful management of no-decompression limits. Visibility typically ranges between 10 and 30 metres. Access is by boat only. Divers should maintain solid buoyancy control to navigate the structure and are advised to carry a dive torch to inspect the hull and interior spaces. Given the maximum depth of 33 metres, it is essential to plan your dive profile before descending and monitor your depth gauge closely throughout the dive.

Bring a dive torch even on day dives, as the interior spaces and the deeper sections of the hull benefit from additional light to properly appreciate the marine growth and structural detail. Confirm current conditions with your operator before the dive, as local conditions in the Deep South can vary.
Accessible via boat trips from local dive centers in Addu Atoll or as part of liveaboard itineraries.
