    Abstract
    Morphology of a living coral bank (Gaveshani Bank) is described using multibeam swath bathymetric survey system Hydrosweep. The bank has a height of 42 m, length of 2 km and a maximum width of 1.66 km, with steep flanks and flat top. It has a north-south orientation and occupies an area of about 3 sq km. A 100% coverage obtained in the present study enables us to determine the exact morphology of the bank. A comparison with the single beam echosounding data reveals that the dimensions (length and breadth) and areal extension of the bank are much larger than previously known
