Anchorage Facts
Depth 25 meters
Bottom Type Sand

Hoga Island is a nice spot, especially for diving. Entry to the anchorage from the NW is deep & easy in good light because the reef edges are easy to see. In the channel between the reefs adjacent to the white navigation light, the depth shoals to approx 24 feet but then it deepens again once inside. Be aware that the reef juts out beyond the nav aid both when entering the channel and also once inside so don't cut it close before turning into the anchorage basin. Anchor in sand on the Hoga Island side anywhere from 25 meters on up. Expect current and some wind chop but generally we found this anchorage to be pleasant. The casual Hoga Island Dive Resort is on shore and can provide meals with advance notice. There is also a large complex of old bungalows that were not open when we visited. The pathways through the buildings made for decent walking. Tie the dinghy on the long wharf visible from the anchorage. The stilt village near Kaledupa welcomes visitors and behind it, on Kaledupa itself, there is another village that at near high tide, once can proceed up a little canal under an elevated walkway to a place with steps to tie the dinghy. There are small stores and a produce market here and benzene is available. See separate markers for diving. Snorkeling is good near the nav light.
