Passages
Islands
See Maldives.
Communication
See Maldives.
When approached for the first time the Maldivian islands give a confusing sight. Once visible (only at a distance of 8-10 miles) one easily mistakes one island for another.
Uligamu is accessible from all sides, but watch out for currents. The reef extends quite far to the NW. The tall radio/telecom mast is conspicuous. By night there are no useful lights, save from the antenna tower located NW from the centre of the island.
Entrance
For entrance details see Maldives.
Berthing
Describe here the berthing options of this port. Are there moorings or you have to anchor? Do most boats moor side-to, stern-to, or bow-to? Etc.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
If there are any marinas please either give a short description or better yet, provide a dedicated page (Marina Template).

- [[Marina2]]
Anchorages
Anchoring is possible from the SE to the SW side of the island. We anchored 07°04,3’N 072°55,1’E on 6m. Depths vary from 6 to 15 meters, sand and coral. Good holding. Shelter is not good, certainly not in wind shifts.
