'''Adas Bank''' is a submerged [[bank (topography)|bank]] located off the west coast of [[India]], between [[Angria Bank]] (200 km to the north) and [[Cora Divh]] bank of the [[Laccadive Islands]] (90 km to the south).

==Geography==
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.
