The British Loyalty shipwreck, resting 33 meters beneath the waters between Maradhoo and Hithadhoo islands. The 140-meter-long ship lies on its starboard side, covered in a vibrant array of hard and soft corals, serving as a habitat for numerous small fish. The wreck can be explored through two large holes, likely resulting from the ship's scuttling by a British warship. Surrounding the wreck, are schools of blue-fin jack, turtles, and occasional sightings of Manta rays and sharks. The Addu Atoll, including the shipwreck area, offers a rich marine life experience for divers and is a popular destination for Liveaboard diving yachts.
