Indians
The Indians is a boat-only rocky reef off Norman Island.
Local operator required

Boat access, clear water, and a shallow-to-deep reef profile make The Indians an easy-to-plan Caribbean snorkel-and-scuba stop on calm days.
About Indians
The Indians are rocky pinnacles off Norman Island, with a shallow reef side, a deeper outer side, and a small tunnel/cave that gives the site its signature shape. It works well for snorkelers and scuba divers who want a compact, colorful site with easy-to-read structure. Expect bright coral, sponges, reef fish, and turtle action in clear Caribbean water, with the cave and ledges adding shelter and variety.

Scuba Diving
The cave and swim-throughs make this a compact but engaging scuba stop. The site is best when the sea is calm and the outer faces are not being pushed by swell.
Freediving
Freediving is most practical on the shallow reef side in very calm water; the cave and tunnel are better left to scuba.
Snorkeling
One of the BVI's classic snorkel stops, especially along the shallow side and around the pinnacles when the sea is calm.
