Shaab Loka

Overview

Loka is a small island and a so far untouched dive spot.

Description

At Shaab Loka you will find a slope gently sloping down from the island. A container ship ran aground here about 50 years ago and has been rotting ever since. The reef is fantastically covered with all kinds of corals and an incredible variety of swarming fish.
Loka - North
The dive starts at the northern corner of Loka island - dropoff and infinite depths.
Along the wall you will find a beautiful balcony platform. It is not very big, about 50 x 25 m, with a huge coral block, which in turn is surrounded by barracudas. The entire platform is covered with so many fish that you can only guess the corals.

Hotspots

  • Hammerhead sharks in an innumerable large school stay here and disappear as quickly as they appeared.
  • Loka continues to provide a home for silky sharks, turtles, stingrays and white tip reef sharks.
