About This Dive Spot

This site is a favored mooring area for recreational boats, so divers should remain cautious of boat traffic. Access to Indian Rock is best achieved via boat charter, as it is too distant for a swim from the shore. Divers can expect to encounter large schools of mackerel, Garibaldi, and various invertebrates such as gorgonians and sea fans. Additionally, sightings of octopus, small lobsters, moray eels with their cleaner shrimp, and blue-banded gobies are common in this vibrant underwater ecosystem.
