the indians

Near Norman Island four rocky peaks jet up from the ocean floor to break the water's surface. These pinnacles are called the Indians. The stories of how they got their name will be saved for Paula's dive briefing!

These rocky formations are quite spectacular when viewed from the 50 foot sandy bottom. The beautiful colors of the lavish corals and sponges contrast with the rocky ledges and steep walls that rise to the surface. The bright sun streaks its rays across the swell and creates some spectacular photo opportunities.

This entire dive can be done in one tank, however you'll be wishing you had more time to investigate the many passageways. On the east side of the rocks you'll find a large cave filled with Glassy Sweepers.

A saddle at about seven feet between two of the rock pinnacles gives access to a broad, shallow pool. Follow the arched swim-throughs and you'll find yourself right back where you started.

Keep an eye out for Hawksbill Turtles on the deeper sections and nudibranchs in the pond.
