Best for beginner divers, 3-15m, boat entry, mild current.
The Indians consists of four rocky pinnacles rising from a depth of 15 metres to just below the surface. Located 500 metres from shore, this site features swim-throughs and small cave passages that offer varied topography. Divers and snorkellers can expect visibility between 10 and 30 metres, allowing for clear views of the structure. While conditions are generally suitable for beginners due to mild currents, the flow can strengthen on the seaward side of the pinnacles. Boat access is required to reach the site, and visitors should exercise caution regarding the overhead environment within the cave passages and maintain controlled buoyancy.
