BASSAS da INDIA SAILING NOTE
Ketoro
October 2010
This is an atoll in the Mozambique Channel,
almost completely under water at high tide but with exposed, walkable reef at
low tide.
There are, surprisingly (and illegally?),
mooring buoys at 21:28.395S 39:43.706E.
April 2015 update: we have been told that those mooring buoys were removed, but they may possibly have been re-instated. Please post a message below if you can confirm: thanks!

The atoll provides magnificent snorkeling and
diving, fascinating reef walks and a parade of exceptional marine life past the
boat, amongst which large sharks and whales (alarmingly close).
We heard that it is possible to enter the
lagoon in the atoll, using waypoint 21:27.37S 39:42.56E, but on observation we
thought entry might be at 21:27.04S 39:42.56E. At no stage did we take the boat
into the atoll, however, but enjoyed using the dinghy.
