The Indians: Norman Island

---

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.

ONBOARD diving from a charter yacht is by far the best choice if you are planning a scuba diving trip in the Virgin Islands:

Your Captain will help you choose the perfect dive site - you sail up to the site - hook up to a mooring ball - dive in some of the world's best diving waters, and when you're done you climb back aboard your yacht to be met by the chef with a most welcome snack.

No need to wait for a commercial dive operator - then getting on a stinky diesel dive boat with strangers and taking time to get to and from the dive site - using up half the day.

Nothing beats a USVI or BVI catamaran yacht charter for ease and convenience when Scuba Diving in the Virgin Islands.

An awesome liveaboard scuba diving experience you will never forget!
