About British Loyalty (Wreck)
British Loyalty is a large WWII oil tanker wreck in Addu Atoll, now lying on its side between Maradhoo and Hithadhoo. The wreck is covered in coral, attracts schooling fish and larger pelagic visitors, and rewards advanced boat divers with swim-through holes, a huge steel profile, and enough structure to keep the dive interesting from the descent to the ascent.
