The Indians
Dive site
Four volcanic pinnacles poke above the surface just south of Norman Island, but the real spectacle is below. Ledges and swim-throughs at 5 to 20 metres are draped in gorgonians, black coral, and sponges in every shade of orange and purple. Tarpon and sergeant majors hold station in the shaded crevices while glassy sweepers pour around every corner. Currents are gentle enough for all levels but strong enough to keep the coral thriving.
