Geography
[edit | edit source]The nearest coast is the Indian mainland close to Goa, which is 180 km east-northeast of Adas Bank. It is not considered part of the Laccadive Islands anymore, but nevertheless one of the northernmost features of the Chagos-Laccadive Ridge. The minimum depth of the bank is 70 meters.
